Worthing to London

Worthing to London - 55 miles and a Million Pounds Away.

With the property market's well publicised recovery Worthing has seen an influx of visitors to the town snapping up property. The new seafront developments such as Mayfair House and The Beach Residences have rightly seen a great deal of coverage in National Press about the build quality, design and value offered by these top drawer blocks.

But why Worthing?

Well known for it's gentle climate, clean beaches and ease of access to cities closeby it also seems that price has become a key factor when Londoners consider leaving the streets of the Capital for the calmer, leafy streets of our town. And looking at these statistics, who can blame them (although we admit this is not what you'd call a Scientific Survey!).



So let's look at a few of our most popular selling streets to see how they compare with their London namesakes (Data kindly supplied by www.NetHousePrices.com)
