First-time buyers return to Maidstone

A new campaign to bring first-time buyers and young families back to Maidstone has been launched as property prices soar across the town. Housebuilder George Wimpey is about to complete the first phase of a new development at Furfield Park, consisting of trendy apartments and three and four-bedroom family homes.

The new properties are based around versatile, open plan layouts designed to appeal to young people. George Wimpey is offering several incentives to make the homes affordable for those struggling to get on the property ladder.

First-time buyers who secure a property at Furfield Park will receive 5% of their deposit paid. Those who already own a property can utilise George Wimpey’s ‘Easymover’ scheme – which means they will help to find a buyer for your existing home inside six weeks.

The four-bedroom semi detached properties, priced from just £250,000, are around £135,000 cheaper than the average detached property in Maidstone. Lee Monk, Sales Director for George Wimpey South East, believes that first-time buyers will be able to secure genuine value for money in Furfield Park:

“Furfield Park is designed to bring young people, and young families, back to this area. Our new development is designed to make the moving experience is quick and easy as possible, and help first time buyers secure a place on the property ladder.”
