House hunting
Article Abstract:
The UK government has indicated, by 2011, the county of Kent, England, should have an extra 116,000 new homes. The area in the vicinity of the Channel Tunnel is becoming increasingly in demand for housing from both English and European buyers. The Bluewater development, Dartford, Kent, is also experiencing more interest from buyers, with sales increasing by 25%. There has been a 14% increase in the number of homes being placed with agents, in Jan 1998, compared to Jan 1997. But indecision concerning the route of the Channel Tunnel link has adversely affected the housing market.
