Folkestone is one of the ‘Coolest New UK Areas to Buy a House’

Update:  We've moved our blog to www.folkestone-estateagent.co.uk


Folkestone has been announced one of the forerunners in the Top 10 of the Coolest Places to buy a house in the UK! It was listed with nine other places around the UK on shortlist.com, stating that Folkestone is an up and coming creative place to live by the seaside.

For example plans to redevelop Folkestone’s seafront were approved late last year to build 1,000 new homes, restaurants, shops and sport facilities.  Meaning the location of the old Rotunda Funfair land will now have a use again bringing back tourists and new people to the area, therefore increasing the prices of property and making Folkestone a more desirable place to live.

With quirky pieces of local art work making a fresh vibe in Folkestone such as the numbered pebbles representing the British soldiers who died in the battle of the Somme, to the designed beach huts representing the old golf course which was found on the derelict Rotunda site, Folkestone is a fresh lovely place to live with lots of character.

So, all in all, Folkestone is the place to buy in the South East with property prices looking to soar offering the possibility of great returns in the future for those who buy now!  Here's what shortlist.com they had to say about my favourite UK Property Hotspot
