Soar ahead with buy-to-let at Acton Gardens
With the buy-to-let market soaring ahead of both inflation and house price growth, UK property investors are now earning an average of £11,724 per annum. For those in the capital, rent is now 9.5 per cent higher than it was a year ago, putting the average monthly rent at £1,538 for those wanting the London lifestyle. Savvy investors looking to cash in on the perks of the London buy-to-let market, should look no further than the Mansion Building apartments at West Park Quarter; the latest phase of Countryside and L&Q’s joint venture, Acton Gardens.
Andrew Loveday, Sales Director at Countryside comments: “With Acton Gardens located in one of the capital’s top residential hotspots, due to its ongoing regeneration and close proximity to five underground and rail stations including Crossrail, canny buy-to-let investors are already seeing the promise of investing here. Previous phases at Acton Gardens have proven very popular among investors and with the Mansion Building at West Park Quarter offering a stylish selection of premium homes, perfect for professional couples and families in need of a London base, there are now even more opportunities to purchase an investment property at Acton Gardens.”
Created with convenience, style and security in mind, Acton Gardens features a stylish collection of one and two bedroom apartments, three bedroom überhaus and three and four bedroom penthouses. Each home boasts exceptional modern design, ideal for those looking to compromise on size but not on luxury. Interiors are designed with flexible living space featuring extensive glazing to maximise natural light. Every apartment also benefits from a generous terrace, providing an attractive space for entertaining guests.
The new homes boast a superb specification, with stylish kitchens featuring stone worktops, handle-less wall and base units, chrome accessories, ceramic floor tiles and a range of integrated appliances. Bathrooms and en suites comprise crisp white sanitaryware with chrome finishes and contrasting ceramic tiling.
Eco features are incorporated to help reduce energy consumption including double glazing, green roofs, solar panels and an energy centre to supply some of the heat and power, resulting in lower utility bills. The homes will achieve a minimum Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 offering low heating, power and water consumption when complete.
A range of new social and commercial community facilities will be located in the centre of Acton Gardens at the Hub, a 55,000 sq ft facility. This will also include a central plaza with a supermarket, new public open space and other community amenities, helping to bring people of all age groups together.
Green open space plays a vital role at Acton Gardens, with tree lined streets designed around a series of parks, squares and communal gardens, featuring extensive landscaping, play areas and allotments. In a nod to the traditional appeal of London’s parks and squares, the outdoor spaces are designed to create social, lively places for people to relax and enjoy, where pedestrians have priority and community interaction is encouraged. South Acton Park also provides a great urban park with mature trees lining the footpaths and a play area for children.
Nearby, Chiswick High Street offers an exciting range of designer boutiques, good pubs and restaurants, whilst Westfield London is only 20 minutes away by tube from Acton Town station. Acton Gardens is also close to Acton main line station, which will become a station on the Crossrail line when it opens in 2019 reducing journey times into and across the capital. Plans also in place include a proposed new bus route and a car club for residents use. For sports enthusiasts, golf is available at Old Deer Park, pitch and putt at Gunnersbury Park and tennis in Acton Park.
