Not all homes in Monmouthshire are moving at the same pace.

And the latest figures show why.

Over the year to June 2026:

🏡 Detached: £493,510 ↓ 1.6%
🏠 Semi-detached: £299,761 ↑ 0.4%
🏘️ Terraced: £235,394 ↑ 0.5%

The headline average doesn’t tell the whole story.

If you’re selling a larger detached home, you’re currently in a slower, more negotiated part of the market.

Selling a two or three-bedroom terrace? The picture is different.

So getting the price right matters.

A property priced for the market it’s actually in has a better chance of attracting the right buyers — rather than sitting and waiting.

Eight sales agreed. £2, 985,000. 99% of asking price. 🎉

Last week was a rather good week at Christie Residential.

We agreed 8 sales with a combined value of almost £3,000,000 in total, and an average agreed sale price of 99% of the asking price.

You may hear from some quarters that the market isn’t very good at the moment but our experience in and around Abergavenny is anything but that.

Good homes, realistically priced and properly marketed, are still attracting buyers.

And with over 100 years of combined experience across our sales team, we know that getting the right result starts with good advice, honest pricing and knowing the local market.

Of course, agreed is not completed — and there’s still work to do. We’ll be there, supporting our clients and helping keep these sales moving all the way to completion.

For now though, we’re taking a moment to celebrate a very good week. 🥂

Buying in Wales? Don’t forget about Land Transaction Tax.

It’s not Stamp Duty — and the rules are different. It’s an easy cost to overlook when you’re working out your budget.

For a main home:

🏡 Nothing on the first £225,000
6% on the portion from £225,000 to £400,000
7.5% from £400,000 to £750,000

And one important point if you’re moving from England: Wales doesn’t have first-time buyer relief.

For a £332,145 purchase, tax is charged on the £107,145 above the threshold — coming to £6,428.

The real cost of moving is about more than the asking price.

We’re here to help you understand the numbers before you make an offer.

🏡 Merthyr Road, Abergavenny - Just Launched

A home with character, space and Abergavenny on your doorstep.

Beautifully presented and full of period charm, this impressive Grade II listed home offers four bedrooms and an exceptional amount of versatile living space, right in the heart of Abergavenny.

From the moment you step inside, the character is clear — original floor tiles, wooden floors and a feature fireplace sit alongside a beautifully updated interior designed for modern living.

At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and family room. With a substantial central island, Aga wood-burning stove and trifold doors opening onto the garden, it’s a space made for relaxed family life and entertaining.

Upstairs, four generous bedrooms include a superb principal suite with fitted storage and four-piece en-suite, alongside a spacious top-floor bedroom with its own shower room.

And then there’s the garden.

Private, secluded and beautifully planted, it leads up to a terrace where you can enjoy views across Abergavenny towards the Blorenge. There’s also a home office studio, WC and a substantial garage/workshop — giving this home a level of versatility that’s hard to find in such a central location.

A beautiful period home thoughtfully cared for and wonderfully connected to everything Abergavenny has to offer.

35 days.

That’s how long it currently takes us, on average, to agree a sale.

Last week, we shared the Wales average of 67 days. We wanted to put our own figure alongside it, because a national average doesn’t always tell you what’s happening here in Abergavenny.

There’s no secret to it.

Homes that are priced honestly, presented properly and put in front of the right buyers tend to move.

The ones that sit are often the ones priced for a market that simply isn’t there anymore.

Thinking about making a move this autumn?

Your home, handled with care.

Sometimes, finding the right home takes a little time.

We’re delighted to have seen the sale of 4 Orchard Court in Crickhowell complete.

We first met the new owners in early 2024, when they were looking to downsize. It would have been easy to focus simply on finding them somewhere smaller, but the more we got to know them, the clearer it became that they were looking for something very specific.

They wanted a home that suited the next chapter of their lives. Somewhere that felt right, offered the space they needed, and gave them the lifestyle they were hoping for.

And that’s why not giving up matters.

Because sometimes the right home doesn’t appear straight away. It’s about listening, understanding what really matters to someone, and being patient enough to wait for the right opportunity.

When Orchard Court came along, everything fell into place.

We’re so pleased to have played a small part in helping them find the right place to call home, and we wish them many happy years in Crickhowell. 🏡
