Be careful buying property near improved rail links says Letting Focus
Be careful if you buy property near soon to be improved rail links
If you buy property near a place that will benefit from faster rail links, you need to watch out.
For example, many people bought in Ashford, Kent because it was going to a stop on the London to Paris and Brussels route. Now, however, services have been massively trimmed back and only a few international trains will stop at Ashford.
Still in Kent, the new services on High Speed One (the new name for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link) will start from December 2009 and the timetable for our existing 'classic' routes will be re-drawn completely.
Faster Rail Links
Services using High Speed One will go to London's St Pancras station and journey times from places like Ashford, Folkestone, Canterbury and Dover will be significantly reduced.
However, whilst many people are keen to know exactly what the timetable will be, this is all still at planning stage and the details are yet to be finalised.
It’s not out of the question that existing services might have to be reduced to accommodate the new trains.
