Postcode checks for ME13 moves
Start with Homemove. We compare broadband deals across major UK providers, including BT, Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk, Plusnet, NOW Broadband, Vodafone and EE where they serve your address, then check availability at your new Faversham postcode before you commit. ME13 has a mixed housing stock, from terraced streets in the town centre to new homes at The Sycamores, Perry Court, Norton Gardens and The Orchards, so the right connection depends on the exact property.
That matters around Faversham Creek and in the conservation area, where older buildings can still be on copper-based lines while newer plots are more likely to support full fibre. If you are moving into a home near Shepherd Neame Brewery or one of the ME13 8GD developments, we compare the live options and the install route, then help you time the order around your move.

In ME13, the speed you can get depends on the line into the property, not just the street name. Older terraces and listed homes near the centre often start with FTTC, which usually gives 30-80 Mbps, while full fibre, where available, can reach 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps+ over FTTP. Newer schemes such as The Sycamores, Perry Court, Norton Gardens and The Orchards are the places we would check first for faster options, but we still confirm each address before you order.
Cable packages can also reach 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps+ where Virgin Media services are available, but that network sits apart from Openreach. In practice, a flat on a red-brick street by Faversham Creek may have a different set of options from a newer home on ME13 8GD, and that split can change the price, the install date and the router setup. We check the postcode first because guessing is a waste of time.
For speed, think in use case terms. A 35 Mbps line is usually fine for 1 or 2 streamers, 100 Mbps suits a household of 3 or 4 with 4K streaming and gaming, and 500 Mbps or more helps if you work from home, move large files or have several gamers in the house. Thick walls, older brickwork and where the router sits can matter as much as the headline package, especially in older Faversham houses built with Kentish ragstone or timber framing.
A smaller home near Faversham Station may not need the same package as a larger house on the edge of town. If your household only needs browsing, email and a bit of streaming, the lower tiers are usually enough. Once you add 4K TV, online gaming and working from home on the same line, 100 Mbps and above starts to make more sense.
Bigger properties, especially those with thick walls or more rooms, can benefit from a mesh system as much as a faster tariff. The line to the router is only half the job, and in an older ME13 terrace the internal layout can change what feels fast in day-to-day use.
Illustrative price bands only. Actual deals change often and depend on availability at your postcode.
We check your new Faversham address first, because ME13 can change from copper to full fibre within a few streets.
Compare packages from the main UK names, then choose the speed that fits the household and the budget.
Aim for the day after completion, not the day of, so legal handover delays do not hold up your line.
If the property already has an active Openreach line, activation can be quicker. Cable and Openreach switches usually need different arrangements.
Have the router sent before move-in so the connection is ready when you arrive.
Completion times slip. A solicitor can still be waiting on funds when the keys are not yet yours, and broadband engineers will not work around that. Book for the day after completion if you can, especially on a Faversham move into a listed building or a new ME13 plot.
Faversham's housing stock makes postcode checks matter. The town has 35.1% terraced homes, 32.8% semi-detached homes and 13.9% flats or maisonettes, while homedata.co.uk records an overall average sold price of £382,000 and 382 sales in the last 12 months. home.co.uk currently shows an average asking price of £383,090, with detached homes at £598,500 and flats at £215,000, so the property mix is varied enough to change broadband choices by address.
The ground under parts of Faversham is another reason to think ahead. London Clay brings shrink-swell risk, and homes near Faversham Creek can also sit in areas affected by tidal, river and surface water flooding, so equipment placement and cable routing need a bit of thought at install stage. In that setting, a fresh full-fibre order can be a cleaner option than trying to reuse a line that has been in place for years.
New development addresses such as ME13 8GD are worth checking carefully because builders often hand over properties with different network-ready states. The Sycamores, Perry Court, Norton Gardens and The Orchards all sit in the current local pipeline, and each one can have a different outcome for Openreach, Virgin Media or a future full-fibre order. We do not guess. We check the postcode.
If you are moving from an Openreach provider to another Openreach-based service, the change is often quicker than a full new install. That suits a move into a terrace near the centre or a semi on the outskirts, where you want the line live soon after completion.
Cable to Openreach, or Openreach to cable, usually needs a fresh engineer visit. For a property in ME13, that is why we suggest two weeks' planning where the network changes, not just the tariff.
Start with the exact postcode, not just Faversham. ME13 can vary between older town-centre streets, the conservation area and new sites like ME13 8GD, so the line type can change by address. We check the postcode against our broadband partners before you place an order, which saves time if one property is on copper and another supports full fibre.
Sometimes, yes. If you are staying on the same network, such as moving between Openreach-based services, the transfer can be straightforward, but the new address still has to accept the service you want. If you switch from cable to Openreach, or the other way round, treat it as a fresh setup and check for any early termination charges on the old contract.
For a smaller flat or a couple, 30-50 Mbps is often enough for streaming and browsing. A household in a terraced house near the centre with a few users will usually be happier around 100 Mbps, while 500 Mbps+ suits heavy working from home, online gaming and large uploads. Thick walls, older brickwork and a mesh system can matter as much as the tariff.
Yes. Most major providers offer social tariffs for households on Universal Credit, ESA, JSA or Pension Credit, and prices are usually around £15-£20 per month. If you qualify, we can help you compare the lower-cost options that are live at your Faversham address.
Most broadband contracts run for 18 or 24 months. Shorter terms can give you more flexibility if you are unsure how long you will stay in ME13, but they can cost more overall. Early cancellation charges usually apply if you leave before the end of the contract, so check the term before you accept the order.
Not always. FTTP normally uses fibre right to the home and does not need a traditional voice line, while FTTC still uses the old copper network for the final part of the connection. Some providers also move home phone services to digital voice, so it is worth checking if you still need calls included.
Possibly, but it depends on the exact property. Newer homes at places like The Sycamores, Perry Court, Norton Gardens and The Orchards are better candidates, while older houses near Faversham Creek or within the conservation area may still be on FTTC or another setup. The postcode check is the only safe way to confirm FTTP availability before you order.
