Yes, Kingston isn’t cheap. But new builds often come with incentives like help with stamp duty or a few years of free service charges. Compare that to a fixer-upper that needs a new roof, rewiring, and therapy for its dodgy foundations. The real cost of an old house can hit you like a rogue shopping trolley.
Plus, property in Kingston holds its value like a good whisky. The new builds near the new modern library and the improved cycle lanes are only going to become more desirable. You’re not just buying a home; you’re buying a ticket to a lifestyle that includes Sunday markets, riverside pubs, and a weirdly good record shop.
