Beating the bounce in Maidstone

First time buyers looking to beat the anticipated bounce-back in housing prices are to get a helping hand from one of the region's major house builders. Antler Homes is staging a First Time Buyers weekend at its Bishop's Field development in Maidstone on the weekend of July 18th and 19th.

Visitors will be able to pick up free advice from a specialist team, including solicitors, mortgage advisors and estate agents, who can answer any questions that purchasers might have about buying their first home.

Bishop's Field is superb development of three and four bedroom homes and, in the future, two bedroom apartments surrounded by mature trees. Despite the rural feel, Bishop's Field is near to Maidstone town centre, with all the convenience and facilities that the town has to offer. The modern interiors, designer bathrooms and luxury custom-built kitchens are typical of the superior quality for which Antler Homes has gained its reputation.

John Taylor, Sales and Marketing Director for Antler Homes says: "Nationally, there is a feeling that the housing market is ready to rise, but as has always been the case, the real value for buyers is in a superbly built house that is in a prime location. This is exactly what purchasers will find at Bishop's Field. In the current market, first time buyers need to be looking for the house they want to live in, not merely settling for a foothold in the property market ahead of any price rises. By holding the First Time Buyers weekend, we want to encourage buyers to make informed decisions, to benefit from professional, impartial advice, and to find the best value for their money."

Prices start at £287,500. For further information about the First Time Buyers' weekend on July 18th and 19th, visit the company's website at antlerhomes.co.uk. Alternatively, the show home is open from Thursday to Monday, 10am to 5.00pm.
