ituated in the South East of England, Surrey is a quintessentially English countryside location. Ben Dickinson, sales director for ME Developments says that the allure for Surrey goes a great deal further. “Surrey has always been a popular area to live. It offers an enviable work life balance thanks to beautiful open green spaces such as Surrey Hills, excellent schooling, great commuter links via rail and motorway to the main airports and London, yet you’re within equal distance to the south coast and beaches.” In terms of recreation Alex Newall, managing director at Hanover Private says that “Surrey has it all”. Golfers usually turn their attention to “Sunningdale, Wentworth and St. George’s,” he adds. “There are a number of vineyards, more specifically in Denbies, High Clandon and Greyfriars and for football lovers, Surrey is the home of the Chelsea FC training facility.” To satiate a desire for the best properties on the market, where do high- and ultra-high net worth individuals flock to in Surrey? Tim Firth, director at Jackson-Stops’ Weybridge branch explains: “For buyers looking at the top end of the market Weybridge, Cobham and Oxshott are the most popular areas to move to”. James Grillo, Associate, Knight Frank Guildford also comments: Guildford is a hugely important part of the luxury market in Surrey – especially as you head towards the Downs where there are spectacular views. The villages in the surrounding countryside are also usually high up on buyers’ wish lists.” The property market has copious rentals, abodes for sale and newbuilds and property investors are always keen to find out about the buoyancy of each.
