With the average salary in Medway being £26,000, the new houses being built, priced around £425,000, are clearly unaffordable. These properties, featuring tiny gardens and driveways, are neither practical nor cost-effective. As a result, many housing estates are forced to reduce prices because people cannot afford them, and potential buyers are unwilling to pay such high amounts for inadequate, small homes. The mismatch between the price and the quality of these houses highlights their lack of suitability for the local market, failing to address the real housing needs of the community.
