Savvy Buyers Head To Sea-Side Town Of Hastings

Once, those priced out of London and looking to move south would have considered Brighton, however, since the 46 percent rise in property prices over the last ten years[1], more homebuyers are migrating 35 miles east to the seaside town of Hastings. Providing excellent affordability and smart investment without comprising on style and quality, Woodlands View by Millwood Designer Homes is a beautiful new community of homes situated on The Ridge in Hastings, available with a selection incentives including Help to Buy.

Set high above the cosmopolitan sea-side town of Hastings, Woodlands View offers a range of two to five-bedroom terraced, semi-detached and detached homes, nestled into semi-rural surroundings. Steeped in rich history, the Old Town has been carefully preserved with a charming mix of half-timbered houses, narrow streets and passageways where independent shops, modern art, gourmet food and award winning seaside restaurants attract a wide range of buyers.

Philip Brown, Sales Director at Millwood Designer Homes, comments: “Many seaside towns have become increasingly unaffordable in recent years. Woodlands View in Hastings offers buyers the opportunity for great investment in an up-and-coming area. With the added benefit of the Help to Buy scheme, first-time buyers or second steppers have the unique chance to buy more for their money, without compromising on style. Those interested in a beautiful new home in time for summer, should visit the show-home or get in contact as soon as possible, as we are currently offering a range of additional incentives on a selection of properties.”
