This is done to meet our obligation under Anti Money Laundering Regulations (AML) and is a legal requirement. We use a specialist third party service to verify your identity.

This charge is non-refundable under any circumstances.
Location Summary
Awarded Best Place to Live in The South East by The Times 2024; This coastal town is the very model of modern regeneration for shipshape and stylish living. Folkestone has seen much regeneration over the past few years, with much more planned going forward, especially surrounding the town centre and Harbour. Folkestone has a large array of shops, boutiques and restaurants as well as many hotels and tourist attractions. Folkestone is fortunate to have two High Speed Rail links to London, both offering a London commute in under an hour. There are great transport links to surrounding towns and cities and easy access to the continent too. With so much going on and with the future bright, Folkestone is an excellent location to both live and invest in.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- This street — Gross yield for this street only (Land Registry sales + rental comparables, same postcode + street).
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
