“After more than 20 years in Fleet, I’m confident in our ability to help local homeowners.”
“I pride myself in making the moving process as smooth as possible for our clients.”
“I’m still early in my property career, but I’m excited to grow with a strong team around me.”
“Great agent to get your house sold. We have used Mackenzie Smith a few times now and each time they have delivered results. They are very organised and get the house sold, following the chain along to successful completion. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.”
Over the past 170 years, the attractive town of Fleet has grown into a thriving community. Being near to London, commuters can take advantage of the excellent road and rail links and still enjoy the relaxing lifestyle offered by Fleet and its surrounding villages. The repeated recipient of quality-of-life awards, and boasting a thriving property market, Fleet has become a desirable hotspot for house hunters.
The Hart District offers a wide range of properties for sale to suit all needs, and this is especially true of Fleet. While there are few ancient buildings (the town only began to expand in the late 19th century) there are many Victorian properties for sale, as well as contemporary homes.
Substantial-sized homes are available for sale within the locally named blue triangle area, which has grown to become Fleet’s most sought-after location. Other popular destinations can be found in the neighbouring villages on the fringes of Fleet. Contact our Fleet estate agents to see the range of properties currently on the market.
The area also boasts a variety of family-friendly housing developments, which provide good value for the modern upwardly mobile family. In addition to offering good access to schools and local amenities, these larger homes are frequently complemented by a sizable garden, as well as a garage or other off-road parking facilities.
The property mix in Fleet is predominantly geared towards the mid to upper sector of the market. Whilst charming homes can be found for sale under £300,000, the average house price in Fleet is in the region of £430,000. Although this is higher than the national average, buyers hailing from London and other towns in the south-east will find that their money will go much further.
For couples and small families, a 2 bedroom flat in Fleet can be purchased for an average of £200,000. At the other end of the price scale, a large family home can sell for around £1 million. Naturally, if you are looking to buy a detached family home, complete with a garden, garage and a spare bedroom or two, house prices will be significantly higher. Our local estate and letting agents will help you find a property that matches your requirements.
The town has a significantly higher rate of home ownership than the rest of the country, be it outright or mortgaged. However, there are still many opportunities to rent throughout the town and its surrounding areas.
Lettings range from 1 bedroom flats in the middle of town, through to larger semi-rural family properties, with rent levels to suit all budgets. The average monthly rent for a 1 bedroom flat averages at around £750 to £800 per month, while the rent for four-bedroom homes averages at £1,900 per month. Fleet also has a selection of house-share opportunities for those looking to rent. However, you must be quick to snatch one of these up; they tend to be limited. Our Fleet letting agents have years of experience and will help with all your property needs.
If you are looking for an estate agent that is knowledgeable in all aspects of lettings, then our Fleet office can assist you. We can provide both tenants and landlords with the best service possible.
Whether you are looking for rental lettings, a fully managed service or some help with finding your next tenants or property, we are trusted estate agents that can support you.
Fleet has been voted as the best place to live in the UK for several years, with residents enjoying an impressive quality of life. With wide expanses of charming countryside and a homely community feel, it can be easy to forget that the town is less than 40 miles south-west of central London.
The town has expanded rapidly in the last few decades: new residential areas have been built, increasing the population by 20% in less than a decade.
Housing developments are heavily focused on incorporating nature and a strong community atmosphere into day-to-day life. For example, Elvetham Heath has been well designed with amenities such as sports pitches, a nursery, primary school, a large supermarket and a public house.
The Elvetham Heath development was constructed on reclaimed plantation and heathland and today retains around 20 acres of heath and marshland. The nature reserve provides a habitat for slow-worms, lizards and dragonflies, as well as a rare breed of grazing cattle.
Fantastic educational facilities are another significant draw to living in Fleet. Many nearby primary and secondary schools have received ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ status from Ofsted
Fleet is awash with activities and stunning countryside. The Basingstoke Canal runs through the town. Its leafy tow path provides a wonderful place to walk the dog, go for a run, or take a stroll.
Fleet Pond is a notable beauty spot on the northern edge of town and is the largest freshwater lake in Hampshire. Once popular with Victorian visitors, the local nature reserve continues to bring in wildlife lovers and walkers. Of the reserve’s 141 acres, 118 are designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, providing a diverse habitat for an array of rare animal and plant life.
Comprehensive sports and leisure facilities are found at Hart Leisure Centre, while shopping opportunities are numerous: in addition to the Hart Shopping Centre, a range of shops, bars and restaurants populate the high street. Fleet Library and Learning Centre is also located in the town, providing valuable resources for residents.
