Aylesford, a picturesque village in Kent, became a hotspot for Londoners seeking space during the pandemic, with buyer interest soaring.
Aylesford: This lovely village has always been a favorite for folks wanting a break from London’s craziness.
But since the pandemic, it’s really taken off. People are flocking there, especially after Covid hit.
Just an hour from London, Aylesford in Kent saw a huge jump in interest in 2020. Buyer searches shot up by 48%, according to Rightmove.
And it’s still a great deal compared to London, with homes averaging £381K versus £687K in the city.
It’s not just about the prices, though. Aylesford is absolutely beautiful.
It often pops up on lists of the prettiest spots in Kent and the South East.
In fact, a survey from CompareMyMove in October 2020 named Aylesford one of the top ten rural places to move to in the UK.
It was the only village from Kent on that list, standing out alongside well-known towns like St Albans and Guildford.
