According to the Government’s UK House Price Index data, buying a home in Hampshire rather than neighbouring more expensive Surrey, could save buyers as much as £135,500. As soon as you move over the county border property prices drop by as much as 30%.

Savvy buyers looking to make the most of the more affordable county should look no further than the new apartments at Cross & Pillory House in Alton, a pretty market town in Hampshire. Located in a central yet private location within easy walking distance of the heart of the town, these 14 one and two bedroom apartments offer secure parking, luxury interiors and an ideal investment opportunity. Prices start from £230,000.
Hampshire is also one of the Counties that will soon be enjoying faster internet as the Government rolls out a five billion broadband upgrade plan. This investment known as Project Gigabit is good news for those looking to move and will dramatically improve internet speeds, making working from home even more streamlined.
