Will The Channel Tunnel Rail Link Drive Property Growth

In one year from today, the last bit of the fast link to Europe will be completed. This is the section from Ebbsfleet to Kings Cross St Pancras.
It will cut the journey time between London and France even further.
Many people hope this will drive property prices in places close to the Ebbsfleet station (between the town of Northfleet and the village of Swanscome) and in the surrounding areas.
After a visit I made there a year ago I'm not so sure.
I could see lots of new housing supply but so far not that many new jobs.
Lots of new housing and not many new jobs are bad for house prices and could counteract the effect of having a fast link into London and Paris.
Proceed with cuation in this area in you are an investor.
