Local property market report – What is hot in Kent, what are the buying/developing trends

In this article, we look at where the hottest property markets are in Kent as well as places where significant developments are planned for investors to keep an eye on.

In terms of house price growth, Margate in Thanet is still top of the list with house prices more than doubling over the last decade. Investors in Thanet are advised to check rental yields and make sure that their properties are still profitable, and incomes are sufficient to cover costs. Could now be the right time to sell if you are a Thanet investor?

Elsewhere in the county, there are several significant ‘garden village/town’ developments underway or coming soon. Close to our offices, is the planned Otterpool Park garden town, approved back in 2016.

The 770-hectare greenfield site is set to come with its own high street, two secondary schools, seven primary schools and commercial space.

The scheme is marketed as 50 per cent green space and an upgrade to nearby Westenhanger station to include High Speed train services is set to provide a key link to London in under an hour.

Despite being branded as a development which will bring affordable homes, it has been met with mass opposition from people living across the Folkestone and Hythe district.

Investors watch this space!
