For pastures new, head to Hoo

First-time buyers have a great opportunity to get a foothold on the property ladder at The Pastures development in Hoo St Werburgh, with apartments available now from £99,995.

And with leading developer George Wimpey offering a huge range of incentives for all types of buyer – including matching its customers’ deposits up to 10% of the purchase price and assistance in selling your current property with the Easymover scheme – there's never been a better time for anyone to buy at the development.

Just one of the stylish apartments available now at The Pastures features a large living/dining room with open-plan kitchen and an attractive bay window showcasing the spacious proportions of this contemporary home. The entrance hallway also leads to a double bedroom, a well-proportioned bathroom and a generous storage closet.

For those with young families, looking to downsize, or seeking a buy-to-let investment, the two-bedroom apartments from £124,995 have instant appeal, with a private entrance hall leading to each bedroom, a thoughtfully designed bathroom and a large open-plan living/dining room with kitchen.

George Wimpey can also provide free carpets, curtains and lighting for the one and two-bedroom apartments, providing an ideal start for first-time buyers.

As with the two, three, four and five-bedroom houses which complete The Pastures development, the apartments are built to a high standard specification to include gas central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Mark Pajak, Sales and Marketing Director for George Wimpey South East says: “Even with low mortgage rates, it can still be difficult to get a foothold on the property ladder, but with our Deposit Match offer, we match what homebuyers put down as a deposit - up to 10% of the purchase price of one of our new homes. This means buyers instantly generate a larger deposit and save thousands over the lifetime of their mortgage."

As an alternative to Deposit Match, tailor-made incentives are available for buyers and investors. Full details and terms and conditions are available from the Sales Executive at the development.

Homes at The Pastures enjoy impressive views over the Kent countryside, with village amenities on the doorstep including a parish church, recreation ground, schools and a selection of pubs. Hoo Common and the Marina offer ample opportunities for leisure, including walking, cycling and boating.

Just a stone’s throw away are the Medway towns of Rochester and Gillingham, home to a wider range of shopping and leisure opportunities in addition to regular, 50-minute rail services from Gillingham Station to London Victoria. It is also within easy reach of the Channel Ports and Eurostar services.

Incentives can be tailored to homebuyers’ circumstances and are subject to availability.
