Redrow opens Chestnut Court at Westley Green in Basildon with key worker deposit support
Redrow launches Chestnut Court at Westley Green, Basildon, on 9 May 2026 — nine one- and two-bedroom apartments from £240,000, with key worker deposit contributions of £1,000 per £20,000 spent (capped at £12,000) and a 5% boost for armed forces buyers. The scheme sits a short walk from Basildon station and next to Basildon Hospital, targeting NHS staff and Fenchurch Street commuters. For Basildon first-time buyers and key workers, this widens the new-build pool with structured deposit support; for sellers in Langdon Hills, expect modest new-build competition at the £240k-plus band.
