SO HERES WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE MOVING TO KENT (UK)
Welcome back to another video, if you're a first time buyer or looking to move to Kent watch this video. I've been living in Kent for almost 5 years now and wanted to share my experience. Enjoy the video and thank you so much for watching !
...........................................................................................................
**MORE ABOUT KENT**
Kent is a county in South East England and one of the home counties. It borders Greater London to the north-west, Surrey to the west and East Sussex to the south-west. The county also shares borders with Essex along the estuary of the River Thames (connected by land via High Speed 1 and the Dartford Crossing), and with the French department of Pas-de-Calais through the Channel Tunnel. The county town is Maidstone.
...........................................................................................................
**HOUSE PRICES**
Last year most property sales in Kent involved terraced properties which sold for on average £325,456. Semi-detached properties sold for an average price of £389,812, while detached properties fetched £590,656.
Kent, with an overall average price of £389,167, was similar in terms of sold prices to nearby East Sussex (£383,410), but was cheaper than Surrey (£597,365) and West Sussex (£409,746). The priciest area within Kent was Langton Green (£925,353) and the least expensive was Queenborough (£193,088).
During the last year, sold prices in Kent were 7% up on the previous year and 8% up on 2018 when the average house price was £358,739.

Great video but important to know that Kent is a very big county. I’m sure it’s bigger than London and all of the towns are very different in terms of quality of life, diversity, transport links and cost of living. For instance Bromley which is a big town but you might as well be living in London due to house prices and transport links. Compare that to Whistable and Faversham which are small towns that are not very diverse. Then you have seaside towns such as Margate which are coming more diverse and have great links to London. Then of course you have the Medway towns such as Gillingham, Rochester and Chatham which has become so diverse that I feel like I am back in London. Just do your research before you move. Lol

@JenniferIsOn Год назад

Great comment you’re absolutely right !!! Bromley for me is basically London it’s a lovely area and they have a nice shopping centre. Kent is big and I’m yet to visit some of the places you mentioned but very excited to discover the rest of Kent… research is so important but going there also to get a real feel of the area is equally as important.

@ondolady hello, what do you think about sittingbourne kent. Planning to move there in 2month

@tonilove8245 2 месяца назад

Totally agree but let's not forget some of the other towns like Folkestone with all the new builds going on down on the seafront, stand on the beach and you can see France so clearly. Let's not forget the rich history of some of the towns. Faversham has the oldest brewery in the UK ( which really does chuck a stink in the summer). It also has some really pretty villages.

I've moved to deep Kent after growing up in London and I love it so far, although kent is so varied and so one's experience in one part of Kent will be different to living in another part of Kent. I agree with the point about houses looking big from the outside but being disappointingly small once you go in 😄

@JenniferIsOn 3 года назад

Deep Kent!!! I agree there are so many areas in Kent that feel very different to other parts. Kent is such a big area so people do have loads of options should they move! The houses are small but I think Kent still has a lot of older people living there who have not changed the structure of there homes !

Depending where you live, there is a "Paks" style shop in Chatham and Maidstone has a, great shopping centre. Tbh, I'm not too bothered about living in a wholly "diverse" area simply because I wanted to live in a quieter area as I was born and bred in London and became tired of the hustle and bustle of London living. However, I can understand 30 somethings moving to SE England wanting some "London" life.

I’m not sure about Gillingham because I haven’t been there to know but I’ve been to Chatham twice, the house prices are very affordable and there’s great potential you just need to do research regarding where in Chatham you would like to live as some areas are very questionable.

@Retrobeemer 2 года назад

@rafh2753 2 года назад

It's a very deprived area, one of the most deprived in the country. there has been recent investment in the area however. it's a typical traditional English beach town which only really thrives in the summer months. As a minority ethnic, I'd personally avoid east Kent. North Kent is generally better for South Asians/Blacks from my experiences as there's a bit more diversity. South/South West Kent is generally more unaffordable for the average family, it's a more affluent and middle class area. Schools/education is generally much better that other regions as well. I lived in Kent for over 25 years and relocated a couple of years ago. If you move from London, there will be a massive culture shock regardless as Kent is at large, a very, very white area.
