Such trips allow prospective buyers to really get a sense of the apartments they’re considering – the finishes, the location and the practicalities.

Here, we profile a pair of two-bedroom homes from The Hill Group’s Lampton Parkside and Kew Bridge Rise schemes to turn readers’ heads:

Lampton Parkside homes available with 5% Deposit Boost from Hill

Case study: Couple attracted by open space and transport links purchased apartment at the west London development using incentive scheme

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.”
