WHY GRAVESEND?

Out of the top ten growth locations for property in England, Kent takes the floor with 6 places out of the 10 (according to Rightmove). Kent is an affluent location, with high home ownership rates and has delivered consistent capital growth and better resilience to market down turns. With London’s outer zones creeping in to Kent in the East and less than an hours drive away, some of the countries most beloved coastline to the West.

With demand for commuter locations with easy reach of London, along with the revival of coastal areas and a huge under supply of housing, Kent’s growth can be expected to continue outperforming the rest of the country.

Positioned alongside the world-famous London Thames, Gravesend was mentioned in the Doomsday book (1086.) and was once one of the most important ports in England, given the sole rights to transporting passengers to and from London in the 14th century.

Gravesend has strong associations with important historic figures, including Charles Dickens, Pocahontas, General Gordon and others. And is a hugely popular location with professionals working in the city but prefer more quiet lifestyle outside of the 9-5.
