Redrow launches Chestnut Court at Westley Green in Basildon with key worker deposit contributions of up to £12,000

Redrow's Westley Green development in Langdon Hills, Basildon, opens its new nine-apartment Chestnut Court phase to buyers over the weekend of 9 May 2026, with one-bedroom flats from £240,000 and a Key Worker scheme contributing £1,000 of deposit support for every £20,000 spent — up to £12,000 — plus a 5% deposit contribution for armed forces buyers. The deposit-support package effectively trims the cash entry hurdle for eligible buyers, which is typically the bigger blocker than monthly affordability for first-time purchasers in this part of Essex. For Basildon buyers — particularly NHS staff at the neighbouring Basildon Hospital, armed forces, and first-time buyers near Basildon train station — this is a concrete, near-term option with first move-ins expected from early 2027. Incentives are subject to eligibility and the homes are off-plan, so this is one developer's release rather than a market-wide signal for Basildon.
