Buying a Home in Brentwood
Approximately 80% of the homes in Brentwood are owner-occupied. As you can imagine, rentals do not make up a huge part of the market. However, if you are looking to buy a property, it could be the perfect place.
A large portion of those buying in Brentwood are those moving from central areas of London. Those who have owned London property will get more property for their money in Brentwood and many aspire to live in the sought-after Hutton Mount, Heron Way, Ridgeway or Hillwood Grove. Here, properties range between £1 million and £5 million.
Coombe Rise, Middleton Road and Warren Road still hold impressive properties, but tend to fall between £850,000 and £1.3 million.
For something much more affordable, the north-east of Brentwood has quiet roads of semi-detached and detached family homes. The town centre also has some wonderful modern town houses and flats which are in gated mews.
