Elizabeth Quarter, Maidenhead

About this development

Elizabeth Quarter is a planned 1,500-home development on Maidenhead Golf Club's former course on Shoppenhangers Road in Maidenhead. Cala Homes received outline planning permission from the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in February 2025. Detailed proposals have been submitted for an initial 234 homes in the Southern neighbourhood, with a council decision still to follow. Later phases include land for primary and secondary schools, shops and leisure facilities. A planned green spine will link Shoppenhangers Road and Harvest Hill Road. Cala says the first phase will retain a veteran tree and protect woodland on the eastern boundary.

Buying a new home at Elizabeth Quarter: what to check

• Reservation agreements: the fee is often non-refundable and the deadline to exchange can be as short as 28 days. Instruct a conveyancer the day you reserve.
• The long-stop date: your contract should say the latest date the home must be finished, and what happens if it is not.
• Warranties: check the home has a new homes warranty (for example NHBC, Premier Guarantee or LABC) and what it covers in years one and two.
• Estate charges: many new estates have a management company that charges a yearly fee for roads and green spaces. Ask for the figures before you exchange.
• Leasehold flats: new flats in Maidenhead are leasehold, so we check the lease length, the ground rent (which should be nil on a lease granted since June 2022) and the service charge budget before you exchange.
• Flood risk: schemes near the Thames and its tributaries can be in a flood zone. We check the flood search and that insurance is available.
• Town centre schemes near the station: we check the developer’s completion date and what happens if the building is not finished on time.
