The cheapest Bristol homes sold in lockdown

A mix of homes across the city make up the cheapest property sales in Bristol's latest list.

The coronavirus lockdown has seen a sharp drop in the number of people buying homes in Bristol.

The city saw 499 sales registered in January, 440 in February, 444 in March, 122 in April, 93 in May and six in June.

Despite the drop in business, there were still some eye-catching deals in Bristol's Land Registry figures from March 23 to the end of June.

Here are the least expensive Bristol homes sold during that period:

National figures

According to the Land Registry, 44,920 home sales were registered across the country during this period.

It can take some time for sales to be registered, so some from later in the period may not be listed yet.

There were 18,964 sales in April, which dropped to just 770 in June. 

Last year, there were at least 21,700 sales in June.
