First time buyers move to Hounslow

First-time buyers and young couples are becoming increasingly priced out of the Twickenham and Chiswick housing market and driven towards Hounslow in search of affordable homes.

Notting Hill London, the private sales division of Notting Hill Housing Group, is offering value for money homes at its 661 London Road development, helping people get onto the property market, in a place they will love to live.

With the average age of someone buying their first apartment at 34 years and the proportion of those aged 25 and under getting on the property ladder for the first time at just 16 per cent, the opportunities Notting Hill London provides means that owning a home and benefiting from its equity is within reach for younger individuals hoping to lay the foundation for a secure financial future.

In response to the struggle facing first time buyers in London, Notting Hill London has developed 661 London Road, a design-led urban regeneration project. The development is a collection of stylish value for money contemporary homes perfect for everyday Londoners wanting to get on the property ladder.

Lisa Butler, Hounslow based estate agent from Anthony James Manser comments: “We have found there is an increasing number of first time buyers and young couples taking interest in 661 London Road as they are being forced to look for an alternative location due to the high prices in the nearby areas of Twickenham and Chiswick. Buyers are now considering Hounslow and Isleworth due to the fantastic transport links to central London, the regeneration of Hounslow and the close proximity of the neighbouring cosmopolitan districts of Chiswick, Richmond and Twickenham.”

Richard Prynne, Development Director of Notting Hill London comments: “661 London Road is proving popular with a wide variety of purchasers wanting good value for money and to be close to great transport links. Notting Hill London is focused on providing homes for everyday Londoners rather than investors and the super-rich. 661 London Road is a welcome addition to the overall regeneration of Hounslow town centre."

All apartments are light and airy and have been designed to maximise space. The two-bedroom apartments feature two-double bedrooms, a luxury bathroom, fully fitted kitchen/living dining room and private balcony. The larger apartments also feature an en-suite shower room. All the apartments feature modern kitchens with high gloss finished units, stainless steel sinks, integrated oven and hob, built in fridge freezers, dark grey worktops and off-white tiled flooring. The contemporary bathrooms have beautiful white suites, chrome towel rails and complementary wall and floor tiles.

661 London Road is located in Isleworth close to the centre of Hounslow, providing easy access to the Hounslow high street offering a range of amenities and leisure facilities. Hounslow is currently undergoing huge regeneration plans with the arrival of a shopping district, The Blenheim Centre, which will transform the town centre with an array of shops, bars, restaurants and a new ASDA supermarket.

Hounslow is ideally positioned in London’s international gateway situated only 5.2 miles from Heathrow and benefiting from Hounslow East Underground station on the Piccadilly line and the Isleworth mainline station, which operates the South West trains service to central London Waterloo in 37 minutes.
