Demand Grows For Property In Bexley
The high level of demand for rental property in London is something which is both well known and widely reported on. In respect of the latter, however, it’s more often than not the case that reports just mention the capital as a whole, almost as if it were just one small town. The truth, of course, is that it covers a huge area, spread out across 32 administrative Boroughs. Whilst it’s true that demand is high across all of these it’s also true that certain areas have a higher level of demand than others.
In terms of the present market conditions, the London Borough of Bexley is in very high demand. This is with regards to both those looking to rent property and those looking to purchase. Relatively speaking, the market in the area offer the best for both – property prices are generally lower here than the average across the capital, making them ideal for investment, and rental costs are also lower than the average.
As providers of comprehensive property management services in Bexley we are aware of the dynamics presented by the market. With the monthly rental fees for homes in the area being around 57% of the London average, one can understand why demand is so high. This is made all the more true when you consider how well the Borough is connected to the commuter routes for the city.
Whilst in broad terms high levels of demand for rental property in the area makes it easier for owners to find tenants and generate income, it’s vital for owners to also consider the long term protection of their investment. Ensuring properties are well maintained and looked after are essential factors required in order to allow the value of to grow. The services we provide deliver this to you.

Breathing new life into London
Structures aren’t just something that people build, they act as homes which themselves are safe havens to billions of people. New properties can offer a particularly fresh start, giving people a blank canvas to work with in creating their own home. London may be the most populous city in the UK, but there is still plenty of potential for people to find their ideal home.
The Barking and Dagenham Council has a vision in mind that could materialise and bring with it a boost in homes and jobs in East London. Enough land is available to deliver over 35,000 homes and 10,000 new jobs between the next 15-20 years. There are certain barriers in place presently that are preventing the idea from coming to life though. One of the issues concerning an agreement to have an overground train station to be built at Barking Riverside has been resolved already. This alone will allow 10,800 new homes to be erected along a two kilometre stretch of wasteland beside the Thames.
The A-13 road also presents a blockade. The Lodge Avenue Flyover and Renwick Road Junction are particular congestion and bottle neck magnets, costing businesses millions each year. Because the surrounding area is severely blighted, the land values are very low, hindering investments for developers. The Borough is also practically cut in two due to the road, dividing the communities. The plan here is to have a 1.3km stretch of the A-13 tunnelled. The resulting re-zoning of industrial land for mixed use development would directly create the opportunity for 5,000 new homes at least. This would also stimulate the development for 30,000 further planned homes in Barking and Dagenham and the neighbouring Havering.
At Finefair we have extensive experience when it comes to finding buyers for new property across the vast reaches of London. We work closely with prospective buyers to find out what it is they want from their homes and we do our best to deliver this to them. Whether they are owner occupiers or investors we can provide all of the support they need. We can even offer guaranteed rent services for the latter to help them ensure they get a stable income.
Wandsworth remains a popular area to live in
Wandsworth has always been one of the most popular areas to live in for those working in London. A traditional view of the area was that it offered a comfortable yet affordable way of life, and gave very good access to commuter routes across the city. Whilst the general view at the moment is one of it being expensive to live in the capital, the Borough still represents exceptionally good value. A number of initiatives are underway to try and ensure that the supply of homes equals the demand for property in the area. We, in conjunction with the municipal authorities, are working towards this. Continue reading
The popularity of Waltham Forest continues
