Self-employed hairdresser Maddie recalls: “Covid was an absolute nightmare for us, with hardly any financial help, it was a struggle just to make enough to money to eat, let alone save up to move.” With her savings obliterated, it meant less money to put towards a much-needed deposit to enable her to move out of the family home.

Recognising the importance of having their own space to raise a family, Maddie and Mason began searching online and discovered the Share to Buy website. They registered their interest and were in regular contact with our sales team at Limebrook Walk. When the development launched, they received a phone call to progress their search and completed a financial assessment. Mason says: “The homes were still being built at the time, but we had to go through the financial process first. Once all that was done, we were able to visit the new homes in June, and rest is history!”

Delving into life in Maldon, Maddie’s says “The Maldon Promenade is lovely. There’s a great pub which we visited several times in the summer and plenty of other things going on. In fact, I spent this morning at a baby group in town, which is only five minutes away from our house.” Talking about their new neighbourhood Maddie comments: “Our neighbours here are so nice and the couple next door have a new baby as well, so we are looking forward to playdates for the kids as they get a little older.”

Mason comments: “Limebrook Walk is ideal for young families; there’s a beautiful park with a children’s play area in the shared green space here and I spent a lot of time there with Leo during the summer. Maddie continues “The development is really green and lush. It’s so nice just to wander through it and Leo loves looking around. People expect new homes like this to be crammed in but here all the homes are spaced out and there are plenty of green boulevards and planted areas which give an amazing sense of space.”
