Hello Pauly
I'm another Manchester bod who wants to come and live in Folkestone. Whilst I get myself sorted, I'm thinking of buy-to-letting, but I'm unsure whether there is any demand for rental property in Folkestone yet. Lettings agents won't really give you an honest answer.
I'm hoping to buy and either move down or let until 2009 when properties should have increased in value.
Any gen or local knowledge much appreciated!!

This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site used to be updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for best venues and things, + I know it was a handy resource for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a fake newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
