Its most expensive sale was in Shore Road, Bosham, Chichester – PO18 8QL – which was bought for a staggering £3,950,000.
Property Solvers co-founder Ruban Selvanayagam: ‘There remains a fairly healthy volume of sales in this price bracket, such a pronounced drop would suggest that buyer appetite for these types of homes is decreasing.
‘With continued inflationary pressures and rising interest rates as a result, it would not be too much of a surprise to see a continued cooling off across the high-end property market in the coming year at least.’
