    Thanks, yes I have had a look on there, and it doesn't look too bad. Its just I know some parts of Basildon can be quite rough and others really nice. I am hoping Langdon Hills will be quite nice from some of the house prices I have seen in the area.

    The prices will be a good indication but driving around at different times of day will also give a good indication.

    Langdon Hills is one of the nicer areas of Basildon, I say this as a resident.

    Thanks so much for your response. I am so glad to know its the nicer part as we are going ahead with the purchase, we will be moving to a property just near the tesco on the quite new estate. Another quick question was Laindon train station, I believe this is the closest station, but do you need to walk to it via the main road as this is showing to take about 30 mins, just wondering if anyone knows of any shortcuts through the houses at all.

    Yes, it's about 25-30 mins, depending on how fast you walk, to Laindon station, several routes depending on where you are. There is also a fairly regular bus that goes from near Tescos to the station.

    Langdon Hills isn't rough. The 'Tesco' bit is desirable and modern. The older part nearer Laindon itself has some nice older places and is accessible to Fenchurch St in about half an hour. There are some very nice parts of the area nearby with big executive type properties and the country park is nearby. Its one of the best parts of the Basildon district but prices are according.
