Barratt launches ‘Buyer Power’ in Brentford

Barratt West London has excellent news for home buyers who may have thought they could not afford to purchase property in the capital. Apartments in Great West Quarter, in Brentford, less than ten miles from central London, are now available with ‘Buyer Power'.

With ‘Buyer Power,' Barratt will match the deposit paid on any new apartment, up to five per cent of the property's value, enabling home buyers to purchase a home that might otherwise have been out of their price bracket. This offer, which is ideal for first time home buyers, is currently available on apartments in the Grade II listed Wallis House.

After Wallis House narrowly escaped demolition in 1993, Barratt engaged in thorough discussion with all stakeholders to ensure it retained its sense of history throughout the regeneration process, while still fully integrating within the new community of the Great West Quarter and the wider environs of Brentford.

Though Wallis House, an Art Deco icon, is an impressive reminder of times gone by, the apartments themselves embody modern sophistication and pragmatism. Buyers are clearly finding Wallis House an attractive investment, as the first phase of the development is already more than 75% sold.

"Nobody does more to help first time buyers than Barratt, and Great West Quarter is an ideal location for young buyers seeking their first home in London," commented Alastair Baird, managing director of Barratt London.

When complete, Great West Quarter will provide 773 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, including both private and affordable homes, shops, restaurants, a bar, a health club, an art gallery, a crèche, an hotel and serviced apartments.

The central piazza, extending to over an acre, has been designed as a venue for public events and will provide the setting for a number of creative art installations. This piazza, along with courtyards and play areas, will create a focal point for community activities. The landscaping has been designed by Whitelaw Turkington and will include a green corridor for wildlife, while bat and bird boxes constructed on the site will enhance natural biodiversity.

Studio apartments in Wallis House are available from £199,995, one-bedroom apartments are available from £256,500 and two-bedroom apartments are available from £360,000.
