Hello everyone,

Finding affordable housing in Essex is number one priority for newcomers. Tell us more about the estate market in your district/city/region.

What are the most desired places to live? What are the most affordable ones? What is the average cost of a rented flat? And what is the average sale price for an appartment or a house? Could you tell us more about local real estate policies/procedures? What about property tax or residency tax in Essex?

What about you? Where do you live now? Is it a place you would recommend?

Thank you in advance for your clarifications.

Priscilla

Hi Priscilla,

If you're like me and commuting into London, being near the train station is likely to be a top priority. The markets seem to show that too, as the closer you get to a station, the more the prices rise. We're currently renting in Chelmsford with a 10 minute walk to the station and it costs us £1150 a month for a 3 bed terraced house. If you want to be close to London, it's an affordable option, but I feel like the uniqueness of the city is dimmed for living so close to the City.
