The property market has never looked so confusing. With prices on the decline and the number of houses being bought and sold at rock bottom, it's easy to believe that the market is completely dead. But there are still some trail-blazers who want to buy that dream new house and a dream new life. This week, Relocation, Relocation is in the West Country and this search definitely comes with a health warning! IT Consultant Dominic Clark and his wife Stephanie are a pair of shrewd operators. They’ve been successfully riding the property wave since they got together. It was the birth of their son Oscar just over a year ago that prompted the change – now a full time mum, the priority for Steph is to have a long-term family home near Bristol to be close to her parents and sister.
