Why invest in home improvement in Barking & Dagenham? 

Barking & Dagenham boasts a diverse housing stock, ranging from period properties to contemporary apartments. As a regeneration hotspot, the area has been undergoing a significant transformation. The borough’s expanding residential market and strong demand for quality homes provide an attractive proposition for those considering property investment. 

The redevelopment of the old Dagenham Ford Factory will deliver 3,119 new homes, of which there will be 2,897 apartments and 222 houses – a total of 1,534 will be affordable. 

Plans to build a new overground station in the area were revealed in 2020 as part of the council’s plans to improve transport links for residents so they are better connected to other parts of London.

An old dairy farm in Dagenham which once stood in Chadwell Heath is set to be turned into a film studio after the council approved plans to build three huge industrial buildings on the site. This will generate 599 new jobs.
