The abolition of the tolls to cross the Severn Bridges is focussing some property buyers' attention on locations close to the river in Monmouthshire.

Newport-based Paul Fosh Auctions has a number of properties on offer at its next sale which may well fit the bill.
The next auction is on Thursday, September 7, at the Park Inn Hotel, Cardiff, at 5pm. For more details visit www.paulfoshauctions.com.
