Quote: "Don't knock yourselves! Southend was one of the few places in the UK I hadn't visited so far so I went in May and found the shopping centre normal/above average, but the prom area and the pier excellent. May have helped sun shining and tide in. Only 50 mins from London, no wonder prices have risen. It's probably a bit too soon to see if the airport expansion has had any positive or negative effect, especially on those houses nearest the flightpath."
There is no evidence that the presence of a flightpath adversely affects house prices. LHR's flightpath has some of the highest house prices in the UK, (certainly high enough to get some local MPs panicky about Vince Cable's proposed "mansion tax"!). Doubt if it's different at SEN.
