Why Essex Is Becoming An Increasingly Popular Spot For Buyers

As you drive away from London, leaving the city behind, you enter the outskirts of Essex – a county that has made a name for itself through television shows like The Only Way is Essex, and which often appears on lists of the most coveted and attractive towns and villages to live in across the entire UK.

The beauty of Essex lies in its proximity to London, in the quality of its housing and development sites, and in the diverse range of things available to see and do. And as such, our estate agents in Chadwell Heath consistently report that enquiries for homes in Essex are on the rise – both for buyer and tenants.

But what is it that makes Essex, once the go-to weekend away destination for Londoners, such an increasingly popular spot to live?

The City And Countryside Package

First thing’s first, Essex may benefit from close proximity to London and to the thrills of the city, but this is countered by its access to open countryside and to the expanses of farmland, coastal clifftops, and marshes which edge the border of Essex and the open sea beyond.

The direct and convenient access to both cityscapes and the countryside means that life in Essex can be whatever you want it to be – with plenty of jobs available and an easy commute during the week, and all manner of activities to enjoy on your weekends and days off.

Properties For All Budgets

When you come and see us at Keystones Property, we will work with you to identify the buyer opportunities and properties to let which both fall under your budget and which offer all the features and details that you need from your home.

With everything from town centre flats to expansive rural estates available across the county of Essex, whether on the doorstep of a London line train station or right out in the sticks away from the hustle and bustle of town centre life, there’s something for everyone in Essex.

Things To See And Do

Finally, what better place to live than a county which is home to theme parks, farm parks, nature reserves, and more RHS gardens and country estates than you could possibly hope to visit in one weekend.

The diversity in the landscape of Essex means that country pubs are just as easy to find as high street shops and restaurants, with a network of footpaths and beautiful walks breaking up each town and village and ensuring that the countryside of Essex is conveniently accessible to all.

Life in Essex offers so much more than just a place to while away a weekend – with attractions and opportunities available to residents of all ages. If you think Essex could be your new dream address, we’d love to chat – reach out to us directly to discuss your needs and preferences.
