House price growth in the past three months accelerated slightly in the South West and new Stamp Duty reforms see surveyors forecasting a sales boost of between 2-5%, according to the latest RICS Residential Market Survey.
Despite a net balance of 17% more surveyors reporting a decline in new buyer enquiries in the South West, supply in the region has improved in November and surveyors are expecting more house sales in...
Fly-half Ceri Sweeney insists it’s imperative the Exeter Chiefs make the most of home advantage this weekend as they looked to kick on in this season’s European Challenge Cup.
At the halfway stage of Pool Two qualification, Rob Baxter’s side sit top of the pile having netted 11 points from their opening three games.
Five of those points came a week ago as the Chiefs secured maximum reward from a 36-10 victory away to French hosts La Rochelle at the Stade Marcel Deflandre.
Tries from Tom James, Brett Sturgess, Byron McGuigan and Fetu’u Vainikolo, coupled with a 16-...

Rob Baxter believes the decision to award Thomas Waldrom the Aviva Premiership Player of the Month for November is “fully justified” after a highly promising start to his Exeter Chiefs career.
The 31-year-old has been the club’s stand-out figure so far this term, scoring seven tries in nine Premiership starts, to help the Chiefs position themselves in the top three of English rugby’s top flight.
His arrival this summer on a three-year deal from Leicester Tigers was questioned by some media observers who believed the England international had produced his best form whilst at...

You’re out of the FA Cup. So what better to do with that free Saturday in December than to bring forward a match due to be played on a cold Tuesday evening in March? So, with the agreement of our opponents, Burton Albion, the match was brought forward from 3rd March to 6th December. So far so good, but that left very little time to get all the usual sponsorships and hospitality sales in place. Step forward the Exeter City Supporters’ Trust with the suggestion of making it a ‘Supporters Sponsored match’.
The fans, who own the club through the Supporters’ Trust, responded in force...
