Investing in areas pre-gentrification can provide fantastic returns for investors. This move gives them the opportunity to buy at a lower price and benefit from the rise in demand when development comes and standards increase. Pinpointing which areas will attract investment can be tricky and investors may hold on to properties for a period of time before the anticipated development occurs. Patience can really pay off though.

Abbey Wood is one of the potential hotspot areas that are patiently awaiting gentrification. A lot of the key ingredients are already there including good local primary schools and proximity to the good grammar schools in nearby Bexley. There are great green spaces at Birchmere and Southmere Parks; both are home to lakes and pleasant walks.

Although Abbey Wood itself is not yet the focus of development it is benefitting from the regeneration going on in nearby Thamesmead. New homes are being created there as well as public and retail spaces. From next year the Elizabeth Line will also serve the area, providing faster commuting.

The most attractive thing Abbey Wood offers is affordable prices. Family homes in the area can still be bought for around £500,000 and have gained between 20 and 25% in value over the last 18 months alone. With further development and an increase in popularity this price could rise higher still.
