Why not buy a home instead of renting in London?

That’s the question The Hill Group is seeking to help answer with its latest incentive to assist those hoping to purchase a property. 

To support buyers overcoming the obstacle of saving for a deposit, the developer has extended its 5% Deposit Boost scheme to all homes at Lampton Parkside.

Located in West London, the 523-property development is a four-minute walk from Hounslow Central Tube station and boasts a concierge service and 1,374 cycle storage bays as well as – unusually – 263 parking spaces. 

For NHS workers Suzanne and Lodel Talictic, Lampton Parkside held a range of attractions.

The couple were seeking a home in a location that would allow them to easily get to and from work in Guildford and Kingston, but that also fell within their budget and would be easier to maintain than the older properties they had previously been renting.

Using Hill’s Deposit Boost scheme, they were able to purchase a £495,000 two-bedroom home with parking, combining their savings with the 5% contribution from the developer.

buying at Lampton Parkside

Lodel, a junior charge nurse at Kingston Hospital, said: “The scheme was a massive factor for us – it’s such a generous offer. It was a real help.

“We had been renting older properties for so long.

“They were difficult to maintain and we knew when we purchased our first place that we wanted something brand new.

“We chose a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor at Lampton Parkside, which feels secluded and private. 

“It’s in a great location, just beside a big open green space and very well connected – we’re only a four-minute walk from the Piccadilly line.”

Suzanne, a senior sister at Royal Surrey County Hospital, added: “The views from our new apartment are just beautiful, with lush greenery right on our doorstep and a balcony that offers the perfect spot to take it all in. 

“We’re brilliantly connected for London, but it also has this rural feel to it. It’s a hidden gem. 

“When you buy a home in London you don’t expect to have these serene green views, but that’s what we’ve got at Lampton Parkside.”

well connected

From the Tube station it’s a 27-minute journey to Zone One, with Canary Wharf around 48 minutes by public transport.

The development is a joint venture between The Hill Group and housing association NHG Homes, providing a range of newly built one, two and three-bedroom apartments as well as duplex properties.

The scheme is located next to the 40 acres of Lampton Park, which includes facilities such as tennis courts, a playground, a nature area, a rose garden, a pond and an orchard. 

In addition, the development is also within easy reach of Kew, Barnes, Chiswick, Putney and Hammersmith, offering residents plenty of options for socialising, shopping and dining out.

“When we viewed the development, we could immediately see ourselves living there,” said Lodel.

“We were pleasantly surprised how much space in the property there was, particularly given the price. The layout is very well designed, too.”

Suzanne added: “Buying new means we have a blank canvas to decorate, which is exciting. 

“We already have a Pinterest board with ideas.

“Viewing the beautiful Lampton Parkside show home was very helpful in that respect because it gave us an idea of how the properties feel and how sophisticated the living spaces can be.”

The couple visited the development on the recommendation of a friend, then went on to buy a two-bedroom apartment with parking at a cost of £495,000.

supporting first-time buyers

“The quality of the service we got from Hill was another plus,” said Lodel.

“As first-time buyers, that was important to us.

“The team was so supportive with explaining the processes and putting us in touch with recommended solicitors and mortgage brokers. 

“They saved us a lot of time and effort. It felt like they were there for us every step of the way.”

Suzanne added: “We want to start a family eventually, which is why we bought a two-bedroom apartment. 

“Lampton Parkside has everything we need nearby – schools, a Roman Catholic church and all that beautiful parkland. 

“It’s an exceptional location for family life. That was a real plus for us.

“We can also have family come and stay in the second bedroom, so they don’t have to pay for a hotel when they come to visit. That’s another bonus.

“Being close to so much greenery is wonderful for me. I love to read, so curling up on the balcony with a coffee and a book, is perfect. 

“For Lodel, who’s more into sports than I am, there’s a local tennis club that comes highly recommended. There’s so much to discover and enjoy.”

North Gate Park offers a rarity to London buyers – new-build houses

The joint development by The Hill Group and housing association Peabody occupies a tranquil patch of Haringey on the site of a former hospital

The London property market offers many things.

Swimming pools connecting buildings, high rise towers with gorgeous penthouses on their upper floors and thoughtful, titanic regeneration schemes that reimagine whole neighbourhoods. 

North Gate Park is certainly the latter, but it also offers prospective buyers something rare – new-build houses.

In total 37 will be built at the site off St Ann’s Road in Haringey on land that  formerly occupied by a hospital and which retains and enhances a mature park conceived to bring calm and solace to patients.

The development, a joint venture between The Hill Group and housing association Peabody, makes use of existing historic buildings as part of its scheme as well as preserving the brick wall that once protected its perimeter.

The houses all come with back gardens bounded at the base by this barrier – a tangible connection to the area’s heritage. Dedicated parking spaces are also included, another rarity.

Set on a site that will see nearly 1,000 new homes built, the houses are already drawing wide interest, with reservations made even before their official launch earlier this month.

“They’re proving popular,” said Eloise Solari, head of sales at The Hill Group.

“What we’ve found so far is that there’s no particular demographic they appeal to – every buyer is different.

“We’ve had interest from interior designers, downsizers, people who want to move closer to their children as well as first-time buyers.

“It’s been a real mix of different types of people.

“There are lots and lots of Victorian houses in the area including the streets surrounding North Gate Park, but the question is how much they need doing to them and what the cost will be to get them to the energy efficiency level of a new-build?

“Buyers here face none of those costs, worries or concerns and there’s also the comfort in knowing there’s no onward chain to think about.”

open-plan living spaces and back gardens

Arranged over three floors, buyers can choose from a variety of flexible layouts to match their needs.

Inside, features include open-plan design, plenty of natural light, folding doors opening onto rear gardens, kitchens with Ceasarstone worktops and minimalist bathrooms with black fixtures and fittings.

The properties also come with air source heat pumps with underfloor heating throughout alongside a 10-year NHBC warranty on build quality.

We know people working in Canary Wharf are increasingly looking further afield in their property searches, not just based on price point, but to get something they can’t find in east London.

North Gate Park delivers that, thanks to its blend of Victorian buildings, mature parkland and its location – a serene patch of the capital between the vibrant areas of Green Lanes, Finsbury Park and Seven Sisters.

The perimeter wall provides an added layer of tranquillity for residents at the development, who are also within easy walking distance of the wide open spaces of Chestnuts Park (just across the road) and Finsbury Park to the south west.

Further down, past Manor House Tube station lie the outdoorsy amenities of the Castle Climbing Centre (an old Victorian pumping station) and watersports on Woodberry Down’s West Reservoir.

North Gate Park offers buyers the chance to live in modern homes located in a very well established area.

To the west lies Green Lanes, one pole of the fabled Haringey Ladder and a road rich in flavour and commerce. 

Here independent cafes and bars sit side by side with storied Turkish restaurants (the best carrying the name of Antepliler) and bakeries, a reflection of a strong Mediterranean community that calls this part of the capital home.

Punctuating these are proud Victorian pubs with The Salisbury Hotel their undisputed king, thanks to its cast iron crown and located where St Ann’s Road meets Green Lanes. 

For more than 100 years, locals have sat amid its black velvet drapes and dark woods, chatting, drinking and dining in a building that dates to 1898 and was constructed by London Crick Company founder John Cathles Hill.

North Gate Park – peace close to the buzz of Green Lanes

“I was amazed when I first came to this area to explore – especially by the variety of food on offer,” said Eloise.

“What North Gate Park offers is the buzz of Green Lanes close by but also peace and quiet.”

The development will also take those Victorian flavours and celebrate them with historic buildings repurposed as space for businesses to serve the residents.

Amenities planned in addition to a concierge service include a café, a nursery, a health clinic, fitness facility, supermarket, co-working space and a dental surgery.   

North Gate Park’s transport links are also a compelling proposition for buyers.

The development is within walking distance of Seven Sisters which offers Victoria line services, network rail trains as well as the Weaver line on the Overground network. 

Stroll in the opposite direction and residents will find themselves passing Harringay Green Lanes on the Suffragette line and Harringay rail station, which provides a direct rail link into Moorgate.

The development is also well served by the 67 bus, which connects to Wood Green and Turnpike Lane stations.

For Wharfers considering a move, the simplest commute is probably via Seven Sisters and the Victoria line to Green Park with an easy change to the Jubilee to access the estate.

The journey takes approximately 40 minutes.
