Estate Agents Havering

The London Borough of Havering is perfectly located between the busyness of London and the famous Essex countryside. The borough has something for everyone, from those looking for quieter living in, to those looking to commute into the city. Boasting 24 parks and numerous more green spaces, Havering is an excellent place to settle with family – entertainment and shopping are never far off either, with Romford having a modern shopping centre and both Hornchurch & Upminster offering numerous shops to browse.
For those looking to make an investment, the increasingly expensive London property market is making the borough all the more appealing as people search for affordable homes. The result is that Havering recorded the biggest annual increase in house price in 2016, and is continuing to top the London borough price increases in 2017.
