Ashford is one of the most preferred new locations for buying in the UK - but other towns such as Ramsgate, Folkestone and Canterbury are all set to benefit from the influx of affluent newcomers.
Ha, Ashford is only preferred by those who've not actually been to Ashford but just looked at the train timetables... Hopefully Folkestone will catch up a bit if we ever get this new high speed rail link.
More here on this property news piece anyway1...
This is my website The FG that I built in a fury of excitement when we first came to Folkestone sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for favourite venues + things, and I hear it was a useful resource for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend paper 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 GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
