Real estate in the UK

Maidenhead is one of the most affluent areas of the UK. It lies on the River Thames countryside and can be a gold mine due to its close proximity to the capital, London.

The Inter-City train from Paddington takes only 20 minutes and the other major attractions are the Windsor Castle, Henley on Thames with its famous Henley Regatta since 1839 and Eton College.

An established international real estate services provider, KPWG International acquired a 4.04 hectare of real estate land in Maidenhead in late 2008.

The Maidenhead land opportunity allows the owner or investor to have total flexibility and control over the land.

The allocated time frame is three years from date of issuance of the freehold title deed.

Besides that, KPWG is also marketing the ever-popular UK student pods in Leeds, Bolton and Liverpool via its real estate subsidiary, KPWG Real Estate.

The projects in Leeds and Bolton are refurbishments of existing buildings with ready planning permission and its completion date is targeted in September or October this year.

Interested purchasers should pay the KPWG International booth a visit during the Star Property Fair 2012 to find out more about the development.

Touted as Malaysia’s premier showcase for stylish living, the four-day extravaganza will be held at Gurney Plaza and the adjoining G Hotel from July 12 to July 15.

Organised by The Star for the 10th year, the fair will be open to the public from 10am to 10pm daily. Admission is free.
