Area Guide — Essex
More space, great schools and a fast run into London — the Essex commuter belt is where East London moves next.
Essex has always had a special relationship with East London, and the Elizabeth line has made it stronger than ever. Romford, Gidea Park, Brentwood and Shenfield now sit on a direct line through the City and West End, while Chelmsford and the surrounding villages offer family houses, gardens and school catchments that are hard to match inside the M25.
The market spans smart new developments, inter-war family homes and period village properties. Many of our Essex clients are making a familiar move — out of East London in search of space — and we help them sell, buy and let with the same direct, personal service on both sides of the boundary.
