The Retford market, in numbers we underwrite from

Over the last 12 months the town recorded 428 sales at a median of £194,000, down 13.6 percent year on year. New build stock commands a premium of about 315.6 percent over existing homes on 3 new build completions, which matters directly to how we read a developer's sales assumptions.
