Local residents can enjoy modern living in a vibrant community while saving for the future thanks to L&Q’s first Rent to Buy development at Capstone Green, Chatham.

Rent to Buy, a government-backed initiative, enables tenants to rent at a reduced rate, typically 20% less than the market value, helping them set aside money each month which can be put towards a deposit to buy a home. The scheme opens the door to homeownership for those who have been priced out of the market, giving them the opportunity to build a secure future for themselves and their families.

Capstone Green is an ideal setting for those looking for the perfect blend of contemporary living and access to open green spaces. Nestled near Capstone Farm Country Park, the development features a variety of two- and three-bedroom apartments, as well as three- and four-bedroom houses, offering a family-friendly environment just a short commute from London. Residents can enjoy the peace of the Kent countryside with convenient links to London Victoria in just 46 minutes.

A Family-Friendly Community

Homes at Capstone Green have been thoughtfully designed for family life, offering spacious interiors with modern fittings, including integrated appliances and copper-handled cabinets. Select properties even feature fruit trees in the gardens, enhancing the development’s sense of community and biodiversity. Families moving to Capstone Green will benefit from nearby schools, nurseries and excellent leisure facilities, making it a great place to raise children.

Andrea Palmer, head of intermediate rent at L&Q, said: “Renting has become increasingly expensive, and it’s not just in London – we see the same challenges in areas like Chatham. Capstone Green is our first Rent to Buy scheme in Kent, and we’re thrilled to offer homes that not only provide a fantastic standard of living for singles, couples and families, but also help residents achieve their homeownership goals.”

With easy access to both London and the Kent coast, as well as the nearby M2 motorway and rail services, Capstone Green is perfect for commuters and those looking for weekend escapes. Whether it’s exploring the scenic Darland Banks or taking a stroll along the Medway River, there’s plenty to enjoy in this thriving, family-focused community.
