Put your stamp on Drayton Garden Village
In a welcome change to many looking to get on or move up the property ladder, George Osborne has set out new thresholds to stamp duty which he says will benefit 98% of homebuyers, as he delivered his Autumn Statement to the Commons. Bellway’s new development, Drayton Garden Village in West Drayton, currently has two bedroom apartments available priced from £284,995 which means in the new changes, buyers will only need to pay £4,249 in stamp duty. The cost of stamp duty on this property before the changes, would mean buyers would have had to pay £8,549 in tax, which now makes savings of £4,300.
Homebuyers looking to benefit directly from these changes should look to the new development of one, two and three bedroom apartments at Drayton Garden Village. Less than three miles from Heathrow Airport and within convenient walking distance of West Drayton station, Bellway at Drayton Garden Village offers exciting opportunities to buy a high quality new eco-friendly home set in attractive green surroundings.
The excellent transport connections are set to improve even further with the arrival of Crossrail in 2018, with services running directly from West Drayton to the West End in 27 minutes and Canary Wharf in 37 minutes.
Michelle Harris, Sales Director at Bellway Homes North London comments: “The changes to stamp duty tax will benefit almost all homebuyers which is great news, especially first time buyers looking to purchase a home with great connections into London. Now it couldn’t be easier to purchase at Drayton Garden Village with homebuyers making a great saving on their stamp duty tax, they can afford to spend the savings on something they really want.”
Drayton Garden Village is a vibrant new neighbourhood designed on traditional 'Garden City' principles so there is an emphasis on green open spaces throughout. Residents can enjoy gardens, tree-lined avenues, landscaped areas and safe spaces for children to play, yet central London is within easy striking distance and despite the proximity of the airport, it remains surprisingly free of noise pollution. A new pedestrian walkway provides convenient access to nearby West Drayton station from where it is a journey time of just 25 minutes into London Paddington.
The majority of the apartments have their own private outdoor space in the form of a balcony, while sleek modern kitchens are fitted with a range of integrated appliances. Not only is the setting green, but the properties have impeccable green credentials, packed with eco-friendly technology and energy saving features meaning lower utility bills for residents.
The Bellway scheme forms part of the wider development of Drayton Garden Village, which is regenerating the former RAF West Drayton site, where a range of new amenities including healthcare facilities, shops and community spaces are also being created.
The local area is well served with shops, eateries and supermarkets, while nearby Stockley Business Park provides locals with a country park, golf club and fitness centre. The vibrant Uxbridge high street and shopping centres are a few miles north and for a more extensive retail experience, Westfield White City is in easy reach.
Prices for properties at Bellway @ Drayton Garden Village are expected to start from £199,995 for a one bedroom apartment. For further information and to register your interest, visit bellway.co.uk.
