Why choose Hobbs Parker to sell your property in Folkestone?
Hobbs Parker is strategically positioned in the economically and geographically important town of Ashford, Kent — a location that places the firm at the heart of one of the county’s strongest property markets.
For many decades, Hobbs Parker has established itself as a leading estate agency within the mid to upper property sectors, with a proven marketing reach extending well beyond East Kent into London and the wider Home Counties. This broad exposure allows coastal homes to be presented to a far larger and more diverse pool of buyers than most local seaside agents can achieve.
Our team is known for its keen attention to detail and intelligent approach to property promotion. Every home is marketed with care, precision, and creativity, ensuring it stands out in an increasingly competitive market.
When promoting coastal property in particular, Hobbs Parker brings a unique advantage. We regularly attract buyers willing to travel further along the M20 in search of Kent’s beautiful coastline — families, professionals, second-home purchasers, and lifestyle movers drawn by the area’s beaches, scenery, and growing cultural appeal.
This extended reach adds significant value beyond what traditional local agents can typically provide, tapping into a substantial database of buyers built over many years of successful trading.
Our experienced directors and senior negotiators offer first-hand local insight, having lived and worked in coastal communities such as Folkestone and Hythe. This depth of understanding allows us to present properties with authenticity, highlighting not only the home itself but the lifestyle that comes with living on the Kent coast.
Time and again, Hobbs Parker has achieved successful results where other agents have fallen short — delivering a fresh perspective on marketing that showcases everything we love about coastal living and appeals strongly to buyers relocating from urban environments.
Selling in Folkestone: local insight that helps you price well
Folkestone is a varied and highly localised market. Buyer demand and achievable sale prices can differ significantly between areas such as the West End, The Leas, the Harbour, East Cliff and surrounding residential streets.
While some buyers will pay a premium for sea views or immediate seafront access, coastal appeal is not limited to waterfront homes. Properties within walking distance of the coast, harbour amenities or cliff-top paths often attract strong interest, particularly when priced correctly and launched with a clear strategy.
Official Office for National Statistics figures place the average house price across the Folkestone and Hythe district at £311,000 as of October 2025 (provisional). In practice, the value of individual homes in Folkestone varies widely depending on location, condition, layout and buyer competition.
This is where experienced local advice makes a difference.
The Folkestone Property Market: What Sellers Need To Know
The property market in Folkestone and the wider Folkestone & Hythe district remains active and varied, with a range of homes from traditional terraces and character houses to modern family homes and detached properties. Recent local data shows that the average house price across the district sits in the low £300,000s, with detached homes often reaching prices in the £500,000+ bracket while semi-detached houses and mature family homes commonly fall between £300,000 and £450,000, and well-presented terraced properties and apartments offering strong buyer appeal in the £300,000 to £350,000 range.
Over the past year, prices in the area have generally remained stable or modestly increased, with some pockets showing stronger performance where demand is driven by location, condition and local amenities. Properties priced between £300,000 and £700,000 often attract the most buyer interest, particularly where coastal appeal, access to transport links and lifestyle factors come into play.
Time on market can vary across price bands, with many homes taking a few months to sell at a realistic price and valuation strategy, highlighting the importance of accurate pricing from the outset. A well-positioned home in the £300k-£700k range that is professionally presented and marketed to the right audience of buyers can outperform market averages on both price achieved and speed of sale.
