Ward Homes' stock of new homes hits a record low

Once-in-a-generation discounts on new Ward Homes apartments and houses in Kent and East Sussex are set to end within weeks because the housebuilder has sold all but 40 of its stock homes during a highly successful autumn marketing drive. Ward Homes has sold 55 homes since September during a period when pundits were writing obituaries for the housing market.

But now visitor levels are higher than last year - with 750 people visiting Ward Homes sites in the last three months. It means that the big discounts which buyers can now take advantage of will soon become a thing of the past.

"People who want a new home have worked out that there will never be a better time to buy," said Nick Fenton, Managing Director of Ward Homes.

"More and more people are cottoning on to this and the number of potential customers visiting our sites is actually higher than it was 12 months ago. We've had 750 visitors in the last three months alone."

"While bargain hunters seem to be out in force, supply is going down. We sold 55 homes during the autumn selling season and now only have 40 left in Kent and East Sussex.

"Time is running out on the deals which we've been offering homebuyers in the last few weeks. We just won't have the level of stock left to sell."

The last remaining homes are at White Sand in Camber, Priory Meadows on the Isle of Sheppey and The Woodlands in Boughton Monchelsea, near Maidstone.

White Sand is a charming fisherman's village style development of two, three and four-bedroom homes opposite Camber Sands, one of South East England's finest beaches, and close to Rye. Prices start from just £185,000 for a two-bedroom cottage.

At Priory Meadows, on the outskirts of Minster on Sea on the Isle of Sheppey, Ward Homes is offering two, three and four-bedroom homes, with attractive character features, priced from £154,995.

One-bedroom apartments priced at an amazing £99,999, including a paid five per cent deposit, are on offer at The Woodlands in Boughton Monchelsea, close to Maidstone. The apartments can be purchased from Ward Homes in conjunction with Places for People, a shared equity lender, who retains 10 per cent on a buy back scheme for up to ten years.

At each development, Ward Homes has plenty of outstanding incentives to make it easy for buyers in all situations to buy a new home. Act quickly and you could even move in for Christmas.
