104 PROPERTY Offi cial launch of Kitchener Barracks
The Mayor of Medway, Councillor David Wildey, the Mayoress Denise Wildey, and Brigadier Matthew Bazeley, joined Medway councillors and senior members of TopHat for a VIP event marking the launch of the Kitchener Barracks development in Chatham. The occasion allowed the guests to take an exclusive tour around the former infantry barracks site, whilst the Mayor cut the ribbon to offi cially open the marketing suite.
Kitchener Barracks is a brand new community and neighbourhood comprising 300
precision engineered apartments and houses. First constructed in 1757, the site was previously known as Chatham Infantry Barracks, one of the largest barracks in the country at the time. Today the historic site is being transformed into a gated community, whilst retaining and commemorating the heritage of Kitchener Barracks.

from £295,000. The Help to Buy scheme will be available on all homes. • For more information, visit

Falls, fi ghts & visits to A&E – the perils of moving home...
Moving house is an inevitable process that we all experience at some point in our lives – and one that also places a surprising amount of stress on us. Damage to property and furniture, accidents and injuries, and falling out with friends and family are all of the common problems just lurking around the corner during a move. The UK’s largest independent
furniture retailer, Furniture Village, commissioned a survey of more than 2,000 homeowners to unravel some of the most shocking statistics associated with moving house: • Almost 1 in 20 had a visit to A&E due to injuries sustained during a move.
• 73% said the sofa was the hardest thing to move, 50% said beds and 42% said wardrobes. • 30% admitted to having damaged furniture while moving it. In some cases, the damage was so serious that 1 in 20 decided to abandon it altogether. • Almost 1 in 5 admitted to having fallen out with their partners, with 4% having had to sleep on the sofa as a result.
• The most common injury was scraped knuckles with almost 1 in 3 admitting to this. • 11% admitted to having damaged the property. • 1 in 4 admitted to hurting their backs whilst moving furniture.
