Parents help children onto property ladder at MyHQ

With the average house price standing at £200,000, first time buyers are struggling to get themselves onto the property ladder. With this in mind, many parents are purchasing an investment property that doubles up as a way of helping their child in buying their first home.

My HQ, the largest and most impressive of the refurbished buildings at Berkeley Homes (East Thames) Ltd’s Royal Arsenal development in Woolwich, SE18, offers the ideal opportunity to purchase an investment property.

There are several stunning penthouses and a handful of one, two and three-bedroom apartments at MyHQ. With many of the apartments and penthouses overlooking the internal courtyard and nearby Wellington Park, purchasers will also be able to enjoy beautiful views as spring finally arrives.

The penthouses at MyHQ offer white laminate kitchens complete with Bosch appliances. The bathroom and shower rooms feature steel Kaldewki baths and double-sized shower trays as well as square ceramic basins, chrome ladder-style towel rails and ceramic tiled flooring.

Royal Arsenal is the restoration and refurbishment of one of the largest centres for the manufacturing of military equipment and munitions into one, two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses. It is conveniently located for easy access into the city.

Woolwich Arsenal train station is a five-minute walk from the development and offers regular services to London Bridge, Waterloo East, Charing Cross and Canon Street. Alternatively, the extended Thames Clipper’s fast ferry service also offers easy access to Canary Wharf, Embankment and Westminster on board their high-speed boat service.

In addition, the DLR service will be extended to Royal Arsenal in 2009 and will take future spectators to the Olympic Park in Stratford. Woolwich has also been announced as a stop on the Crossrail line, offering purchasers a wealth of fast and efficient links into the UK’s capital.

All apartments offer walnut veneer entrance doors and satin stainless steel iron-mongery, some with frameless glass balustrades and brushed stainless steel handrails to Juliet balconies. The apartments also benefit from pre-wiring for satellite television, electronic door entry system, secure underground parking and a dedicated 24-hour concierge and CCTV monitoring.

Royal Arsenal also offers purchasers a residents’ only gym set in the renovated Shell Foundry Gatehouse, providing a historic setting for a workout and the perfect antidote to the characterless chain of gyms that can be found in the capital.
