House Removals Banbury

Banbury is an attractive town in Oxfordshire and is a coveted mix of pretty villages and a buzzing market town. Although Banbury has had some development, this has not taken away from the traditional and period feel of the town. Although the town has a historical feel and surrounded by Oxfordshire’s picturesque countryside, it is also at the heart of modern industry. The Jaguar Land Rover plant is located nearby, as is the world’s largest coffee processing facility, Jacobs Douwe Egberts. Many of those who live in Banbury work in these industries, as well as the usual retail and leisure sectors usually attributed to blossoming market towns.

Moving to Banbury

Banbury’s centre is home to quirky 18th century medieval properties, but these rarely come on the market so it is best to act quickly if you have your heart set on one. Just outside of the centre there are some lovely Victorian suburbs, particularly around Hightown and Newland Road in the south, and Queen’s Road and Bath Road in the northwest. For large executive homes, head to the sought after suburb of Poet’s Corner in the southwest of Banbury.

Detached homes and semis tend to hover around £220,000 to £300,000, whereas terraced Victorian properties sell for about £190,000. Two-bedroom properties are around £150,000, and one-bed apartments and flats are upwards of £90,000.

Renting is also an option in Banbury. Flats start at a minimum of £590 pcm, rising to £625 for a two-bed. Small Victorian terraces (two bedrooms) have prices around £750 pcm, whereas the family sized terraced homes are in the £850+ pcm region. Semi-detached properties can start at £875 pcm, but the larger tend to be over £1000 pcm. Detached homes range between £1100 pcm and £1500 pcm.

The Britannia Freestones office is located just 15 minutes away from Banbury, in Brackley. The team offer a second-to-none removals service, tailored to each individual customer, as well as a variety of storage options.
