Buying property in Essex
London has always attracted those seeking careers and the urban lifestyle, leading the property market to experience rocketing rents and sky high property prices. The Coronavirus lockdown and the feeling of being restricted in small properties has now begun to make Londoners rethink and seek space outside the city, and in some cases, a move closer to family. The changes to lifestyle and remote working is now driving some residents far beyond the suburbs to the Home Counties such as Essex.
Essex is the primary focus of The East of England Plan, which has proposed to deliver 127,000 homes and 131,000 jobs by 2021. Essex is also getting connected by Crossrail in 2021 while the East-West line is set to complete in 2023. Essex is growing in popularity as a buy-to-let area as property costs in London become unaffordable for many. Buy-to-let investors and tenants find the Essex County both pocket friendly and appealing.
