‘Hever España’ at Stanhope in Ashford, Kent!

Moat is holding an open day at 14 Hever Gardens in Stanhope, Ashford, Kent on Thursday 27 May between 3pm and 6pm. The summer themed event, entitled ‘Hever España’, will offer first time buyers the chance to buy one of the 3 x one bedroom properties available at the scheme. To fit with the summer holiday theme, those who reserve at the open day will receive £500 worth of travel vouchers to help them get to their dream destination this year!

All of the homes are available on a New Build HomeBuy basis (also known as part buy / part rent or shared ownership). This government funded initiative helps first time buyers to purchase from as little as a 25% share in a home, equivalent to just £17,500, and purchase the remainder at a later stage.

Stanhope is undergoing a £150 million regeneration and a 30-year PFI contract was signed on 17 April 2007 with Ashford Borough Council and the Chrysalis consortium.

The massive regeneration project will see the refurbishment of 323 homes and the replacement of seven blocks of flats with 442 new high quality homes. Over 230 out of these 323 homes have been refurbished and local people have been moving into the first new homes, both on affordable tenancies and as private owners. Seventy percent of these 442 new homes (309 homes) will be available for rent or shared ownership through Moat, while thirty per cent (133 homes) will be for sale on the open market through Gleeson Homes.

The community has already seen major improvements including better roads and road finishes, new footpaths and the transformation of some open green spaces into new landscaped gardens. Stanhope is also home to a new shopping area including a mini-market with Post Office and an off license.
