📈 Good News for Herne Bay Homeowners: East Kent House Prices Remain Resilient
Fresh data shows sellers are still seeing strong returns on their homes across East Kent
In an ever-changing housing market, it’s reassuring to know that property remains a solid investment—especially here in East Kent. Recent market analysis reveals that sellers in Herne Bay and surrounding areas are still achieving excellent returns, even in a climate of cautious optimism.
🏠 Profits Holding Strong Across Property Types
Across England and Wales, the average home seller is walking away with around £72,000 more than they originally paid. Detached homes lead the way with typical profits of around £122,000, followed by semi-detached properties at £80,000 and terraced homes at just over £64,000.
Even flats, which have seen smaller gains nationally, are showing profits of around £27,000. Locally, we’re seeing similar trends, with strong interest in well-maintained family homes and coastal properties across Herne Bay, Whitstable, and Canterbury.
🌊 Why East Kent Continues to Attract Buyers
Herne Bay and the wider East Kent coast continue to benefit from a unique combination of seaside lifestyle, commuter connections to London, and strong community appeal. As hybrid working becomes the norm, more buyers are prioritising space, gardens, and location—making coastal homes increasingly desirable.
This sustained demand, combined with relatively low supply, is helping to underpin property values in the region, especially for family-sized homes and character properties close to the seafront or town centre.
