Manor Court, Rainham

Development Overview

Manor Court is a new build homes development by Redrow Homes, located on Mierscourt Road in Rainham, Kent (ME8 8FG). Following the sell-out success of the neighbouring Manor Park, this development features 29 new homes, with an initial release of 22 three- and four-bedroom properties for private sale. The houses belong to Redrow’s ‘Heritage Collection,’ which blends traditional external architecture with contemporary, family-focused interiors.

Initial launch prices began from £469,995 (as of February 2021). For current pricing and up-to-date availability, prospective buyers should contact the developer directly, as the limited number of homes suggests the availability status may have changed since the initial launch. The properties are offered on a Freehold tenure.

Developer Reputation and Practical Information

Redrow Homes’ Heritage Collection is generally regarded within the industry for its design aesthetic, often noted as having a better product than many large-scale competitors. However, reports from homeowners occasionally cite issues regarding post-sale customer service and recurring snagging problems, including leaks. Buyers are advised to commission their own independent surveys to confirm build quality and to enquire about the individual site manager's history and awards, as this can heavily influence the finished product.

Initial sales were conducted from a sales cabin on site. Interested homebuyers should contact the Redrow Homes sales team for the most current pricing, plot availability, and viewing arrangements for the remaining new build homes at Manor Court. Completion status is to be confirmed upon enquiry.
