THE NEXT LONDON PROPERTY HOTSPOT?
MASSIVE £3.5 BILLION TRANSFORMATION PLAN HERALDS NEW ERA FOR CROYDON
Croydon’s undiscovered ‘secret’ is that it is set to become a London property hotspot, according to third party research. At the moment Croydon offers affordable property for sale when compared with some other parts of Greater London or south London. However, this affordability is unlikely to continue for long due to Croydon’s Vision 2020 Development Plan.
Croydon Transformation Plan
The council backed 3.5 billion pound transformation plan for Croydon, which includes the Gateway and Park Place projects amongst several others, is predicted to have a very healthy impact on property prices in Croydon.
The plan incorporates the development of an arena, shopping malls, office blocks, designer apartments and leisure facilities. The unprecedented scale of the development is set to transform Croydon into London’s “third city”.
Tube Extension Accesses Canary Wharf
In addition, the London Underground East London line is being extended to Croydon in 2010. This would give fast access to the London Docklands financial centre at Canary Wharf, via the Jubilee line tube interchange at Canada Water. So big city bonuses could further increase demand, and hence prices, for Croydon property.

These major projects that are planned for Croydon should ensure that our featured Croydon property is not only a comfortable home, but is also an excellent investment.
