These statistics certainly aren’t a surprise as far as John Kitchin, Managing Director of Rydon Homes is concerned and certainly the off-plan sales at the company’s Weaver’s Place development in Staplehurst are bearing this out!

People need to move for a variety of reasons, as John Kitchin makes clear:

“For many of our purchasers, moving home is linked to a major life change such as a new job, setting up home, the arrival of a new baby, divorce or retirement. Over the last month, we have progressed at least 17 sales, which, on average, is a sale every two days! Construction work is well underway on our developments in Staplehurst, Swanley and Canterbury in Kent and in Kirdford and Uckfield in Sussex, we’re still working on a number of forthcoming schemes and our land team is actively looking for new land to develop.”

“The difference in the housing market now is that people are taking a little longer to sell and are accepting lower offers on their own property. We’re a niche, rather than a volume house builder and, as such, we’re able to be far more flexible with our customers and to deal with them on an individual basis. We’re introduced a whole range of schemes that can be tailored to our buyers’ needs and our prices reflect the current market value.”

“Nearly all our buyers are looking for a long-term rather than a quick, money-making investment. They choose Rydon because we are committed to creating really high quality property in excellent locations and our customer service is excellent. According to our latest in-house research, 82% of people would buy Rydon again and 91% would recommend us to friends and family. We have been delighted with the number of customers who are so pleased with their new homes, that they’ve provided us with testimonials to use in our advertising and PR.”

James and Andrea Ward were delighted to discover that Rydon Homes was prepared to part-exchange their current home, enabling them to buy at the company’s Weaver’s Place development in Marden Road, Staplehurst.

“We’ve been living in Staplehurst for nearly 10 years and were keen to stay in the village,” says Andrea. “As soon as Rydon Homes opened the sales office, we were there. We knew straight away that if we didn’t reserve the plot we wanted, we’d miss out. We hadn’t sold our own property at that time, but that wasn’t a problem as Rydon Homes suggested we could part exchange our existing house. This has worked out very well and has taken the hassle and worry out of moving for us.”

Weaver’s Place is a development of just 11 new homes providing plenty of living space, a high standard of specification, good-sized gardens and a lovely leafy residential location, within easy reach of local shops and facilities. Five of the new homes have already been sold or reserved and Rydon Homes has just opened a fabulous new show home.
