The Marches – a contemporary development of 429 new rental homes in the heart of Woking town centre – has a small and final collection of one- and two-bedroom homes now available. This follows a rapid take up demonstrating the quality of both location and offer of The Marches.

According to recent data from property website, Zoopla, renting is the most affordable living option for the first time since 2010. Woking is in the spotlight as Halifax’s (2022) annual UK league found average house prices had increased by almost £100,000, the highest cash-based increase in the UK.

Thanks to significant local investment, Woking was voted as one of the UK’s best places to live and work in the annual UK Vitality Index 2023. Admiral Home Insurance reported that homes within half a mile of the station were being prioritised – The Marches offers a rare rental opportunity in the centre of this bustling commuter town.

Modern Living at The Marches | These spacious apartments come fully furnished with sustainable, UK-made furniture, designed to meet a high interior specification and standard of living, and residents can enjoy a host of community focussed amenity spaces designed to foster community amongst residents.

Set across two high-rise buildings, reaching heights of 29 and 33 storeys, these new homes are managed by Native Residential, the largest independent operator of build-to-rent homes in the UK. Each home comes with its own private balcony, offering far reaching views of Woking, the Surrey Hills AONB and across towards central London.

The duo of high specification buildings come with shared spaces, communal kitchen, dining areas, a resident’s lounge and screening room, superfast WiFi and 24/7 concierge. Co-working spaces can also be enjoyed featuring a mix of both social areas and private booths, to meet the growing demand for hybrid working. These social spaces sit within the top floors of each building, maximising the 360-degree views with both sunrise and sunset vistas.

Following the extensive regeneration of Woking’s town centre, in one of the UK’s largest town centre regeneration projects, the commuter town is well sought-after for both buyers and renters, with the popular shopping centre attracting new shops and restaurants and offering easy transport connections to London Waterloo within 24 minutes.

Creating a positive impact in the local community is also high on the agenda for The Marches. Helping to support the Woking community and its economy, residents can enjoy exclusive experiences and discounts from local independent businesses via the Neighbourhood Heroes programme. Native Residential also understands that the cost-of-living crisis has driven rental demand, and with one small check-in fee, equating to only one week’s rent, renters can feel at ease also benefitting from Flatfair’s ‘deposit alternative’ scheme.

Zaida Brown, Community Manager at The Marches, notes: “Woking is an exciting and growing place to live – a vibrant town centre, surrounded by some of the country’s most beautiful areas of natural beauty, and just minutes from the hustle and bustle of the capital. Our collection of one and two bedroom rental homes at The Marches is a unique opportunity to live in a beautifully designed space, alongside like-minded individuals and within a supportive neighbourhood that supports the way you want to live. All managed by Native Residential – a trusted and UK-wide rental manager – we understand the pressures of modern living, our neighbourhoods all encourage personality and are built to build connections and support the community.”
