Local context
Maidstone, the county town.
Maidstone is the county town of Kent, with the Kent County Council, a substantial professional services sector, and a population spread across the town centre and a wide ring of villages. Property values across Maidstone are mixed: substantial properties in the villages, more modest housing in central Maidstone, and a wide range of family homes in between.
Our Maidstone clients are often professionals working in the local government, legal, financial or healthcare sectors, retired residents in the surrounding villages, and families with property and business interests in the area. Estate planning concerns typically include Inheritance Tax planning, trust arrangements for children, business succession, and the practicalities of family Wills where the family is spread across Kent and beyond.
