CUMBRIA is performing better in the property market than many rural locations, according to new data from Smiths Gore.
The firm of rural property consultants says statistics show that this summer has been ‘disappointing’ for most of the UK’s countryside ‘property pockets’.
Prices are not rising as sharply as in recent years and buyers are playing the waiting game before committing to a property.

A spokesman for Smiths Gore said: “There are still pockets within Cumbria and the Lake District National Park which are performing well and demonstrate a clear appetite to transact if all the factors are right.”
