Homes for everyday Londoners

Despite the turmoil of the UK property industry, the continued mortgage drought and the reduction of over 17,000 of first time buyers from the market in 2008, Notting Hill London is pleased to report that its New Barnet Green development has experienced unprecedented market-beating activity from first time buyers and now only one apartment remains at the development.

Launched only last year, New Barnet Green, in New Barnet has proven immensely popular with first time buyers and young professionals. This popularity is down to a combination of great location, high specification and unique design, while still being within financial reach for those looking to get on the property ladder for the first time.

The success experienced by Notting Hill London highlights that buyers are still active in the market as long as they are offered the right property at the right price. It is a mixture of the development’s unique selling points which have ticked all the requirements for potential purchasers and resulted in the sale of 20 apartments at New Barnet Green despite the downturn in the market.

Barnet is an extremely desirable location for young professionals as it is within a commutable distance of Central London and offers an improved quality of life on North London’s leafy borders. On the most part; property prices in the area are out of reach for first time buyers, however, at New Barnet Green, prices started at a very affordable £249,999 – offering exceptional value for money.

Jeremy Leaf, principal of the development’s sole selling agents and housing spokesman for the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors comments: “Although purchasers are now more cautious, New Barnet Green has certainly bucked the trend. There is no doubt that its quality, location and specifications as well as affordability have proved irresistible to savvy purchasers.”

Mark Vaughan, Sales and Marketing Director at Notting Hill London added: “The sales success at New Barnet Green is a testament to the development’s quality, design and value for money – especially for first time buyers who, after all, are the lifeblood of the property market. With only one apartment remaining we certainly urge potential purchasers to book an appointment and come visit this great development before it is too late.”
