06 Apr Epping flagged as 2024 property hotspot
What will make a property hotspot in 2024? Access to nature, an easy commute and all the amenities needed for everyday essentials on the doorstep have become standard requirements for many homebuyers. Now, Qualis Homes reports that buyers are also seeking to understand the feel of a neighbourhood, as well as the practicalities.
“It’s not just nearby amenities and development quality that are important. Softer factors, such as the local community spirit and the family-friendly nature of the neighbourhood, make a huge difference when it comes to finding the perfect home.”
Emily Gilchrist, Sales and Marketing Manager, Qualis Homes
Epping in Essex ticks all these boxes and more, leading the Qualis Homes team to flag it as one of the key property hotspots for 2024. The latest figures from Savills back this up, pointing to Epping Forest as one of the top three destinations for people moving out of London between January 2022 and August 2023.
Epping serves a wide range of homebuyers’ needs, from local residents looking to take their first step onto the property ladder, to families moving out of London and those looking to downsize. At the core of this broad appeal is Epping’s combination of an outstanding natural environment and a bustling urban town centre.
Epping Forest
Sited at the northeastern edge of Epping Forest, Epping provides unparalleled access to a vast swathe of ancient woodland, where many of the trees have been growing for centuries. Epping Forest is home to more ancient trees than any other single location in the country, with 55,000 spread across its 6,000 acres, including many rare species. All available to local residents to enjoy as often as they wish throughout the seasons.
