In Betsham, Kent, Hillreed Homes is developing a small development of just eight two-, three- and four-bedroom homes on the site of the Colyers Place public house. prices range form £222,950 to £364,950.

In Ashtead, Surrey, the housebuilder is developing seven detached and semi-detached houses located at Wishing Tree Place within walking distance of Ashtead common. Prices start from £419,950.

Markall added: "With mortgages at an exceedingly low interest rate, buying is often much cheaper than renting an equivalent property and of course there is the added benefit of knowing that you are investing in bricks and mortar for the future. Homes have always stood the test of time and the 21st century is no different."
