A growing number of Londoners are swapping city chaos for the greener, calmer pastures of places like Hadleigh, Benfleet, Rayleigh & Hockley, where the air is fresher, the homes are bigger, and the coffee still hits the spot. So what’s the big appeal? And why are so many people heading east with a Rightmove tab permanently open? Let’s take a look.

As November arrives and Remembrance season begins, the heart of Hockley Village has once again come alive with a stunning tribute of red. Over the weekend, visitors to the Village shopping area were greeted by an extraordinary sight, thousands of hand-knitted poppies cascading across railings, fences, and shopfronts.

Getting on the property ladder in the UK is no easy feat. Between rising house prices, large deposits, and extra costs like Stamp Duty, first-time buyers face a serious challenge. But a new proposal from Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch could offer real relief: scrapping Stamp Duty on homes bought as a main residence.

Halloween is just around the corner, and Hockley Village is getting ready to come alive with ghosts, ghouls and giggles! The Hockley Haunted Halloween Trail promises an evening full of fun and a few spooky surprises along the way. If you’ve got little monsters eager to trick or treat in a safe, free of charge environment then come along and see us.
