Maidenhead Real Estate

Buying property in Maidenhead
Purchasing a residential property is always a difficult undertaking for anyone. This is even more so during the economic recession with the additional uncertainty.

In order to help, we have compiled a frank critique of the residential real estate market in Maidenhead provided by area’s reportedly one of the most prestigious estate professionals: Appleton Estates.

Maidenhead region has generally reflected the London real estate trend. When the property prices were on the up, Maidenhead enjoyed good returns on property investment frequentlty beating the national averages comfortably. It  was not able escape the recent housing downturn either. Estate Agents Maidenhead note that the property sections of the local printed media has been a interesting reflection of the property market. During the the crash, the volume of the real estate advertising dropped by 50 per cent of its original size. As expected, with the signs of recovery improving property market, the Maidenhead area has been encouraging with approximately as many offers being made and accepted.

While the house prices settle down to their levels a couple of years ago, I firmly think Maidenhead and surrounding areas will be leading the charge for the continued property boom again. The following are my key arguments for this forecast:

•    Maidenhead’s long history: The town has always been on the important trade paths that pass nearby as well as a number of historic sites, such as the Windsor Castle and the Cliveden House
•    Transport: Maidenhead is within quick access of few major motorways (e.g. M40) and airports (e.g. Gatwick) too.
•    Commutability:  Maidenhead has a big community of commuters who travel  to Oxford, Slough or  Bracknell.
•    A lot of Celebrities reside in the area from Michael Parkinson to Jim Rosenthal who add to the attraction.
•    Maidenhead hosts many nationwide organisation head offices, such as,  Fujitsu and Hitachi; impoving the employment in Maidenhead area.
•    Maidenhead is renowed for its wide selection of outstanding sports and leisure venues, such as Magnet Leisure Centre and Maidenhead Golf Club

All in all both the potential sellers and the investors are lifting the sales market in Maidenhead region, and the Thames Valley area is definitely going to actively lead the real estate boom again.
