Essex has developed into a conveniently connected, richly historic and financially self-sufficient location within which to live. The Economic Plan for Essex structured in 2014 laid out clear direction and goals for the County’s development; enabling 117,745 new jobs and 81,310 new homes, as well as an improvement across skillsets within the workforce. Culture itself is also being brought into focus by the Government; with specialised funding laid aside for cultural and arts projects with a desire to promote Essex. With a 25% increase in housing price and value since 2013, and an unemployment drop of 3.5% in the same timeframe, there is much to be said for the Economic Plan, suggesting a similar success rate in the future.
These figures alone make Essex the prime place to invest for Buy-to-Let investors looking to expand their portfolio, as well as for the first-time buyer looking for an easy commute into the city whilst climbing onto the property ladder. Essex offers the best of both worlds with a haven of green space and transport connections that span parts of the Central line, the Overground and Crossrail ensuring that the capital is within easy reach.
