Urban regeneration in East London gathers momentum
With the 2012 London Olympics now less than three years away, urban regeneration in East London is beginning to gather real momentum – making a property in this part of the capital a particularly shrewd investment.
There can be few locations better equipped to capitalise on the 2012 feelgood factor than Altius, Taylor Wimpey’s hugely popular development within walking distance of the Olympic Village.
This stunning collection of contemporary one, two and three-bedroom homes in the heart of the regeneration area is selling out fast as buyers seize their opportunity for a smart way to watch their money grow.
Tina Dedman, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says property-seekers should act quickly to become part of this exciting development.
“Altius is proving a huge draw for homebuyers and investors alike, and along with the superb designs and great-value prices of our stylish homes, a big part of the attraction is definitely the Olympics factor,” she says.
“Anyone investing in a property in this area of London can expect to watch its value soar as the Games draw nearer, and with the property market rising across the nation, now is the perfect time to buy.”
A selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments to suit all budgets and lifestyles is available at Altius now, with prices starting at just £174,995.
The one-bedroom designs each feature a spacious living/dining room with open-plan fitted kitchen, a well-proportioned bedroom and a full-size bathroom, plus built-in storage closets to the entrance hallway.
Selected one-bedroom apartments feature a balcony spanning the full width of the property which can be accessed from the living area.
Two-bedroom apartments with balconies are available in traditional and striking crescent-shaped layouts, which offer amazing riverside views and maximize the property’s sense of space and natural light.
With an en-suite to the master bedroom in addition to a main bathroom, they are also an ideal purchase for friends sharing a home together, or for ‘live-in’ landlords looking to enjoy life in their new home while gaining a good return on their investment.
Altius enjoys an excellent location close to the local shops, bars and restaurants of Clapton, and within easy reach of the City for commuters.
Clapton railway station is only a few minutes’ walk from the development, putting Liverpool Street just 10 minutes away, while drivers will appreciate that the A12, A13 and M25 are all within easy reach, plus London City Airport is only nine miles away.
Meanwhile, there’s plenty for those who lead an active lifestyle – Lee Valley Riding and Ice Centre, Springfield Rowing Club and a golf driving range are on the doorstep, plus a selection of health centres and leisure clubs.
Further information about the apartments at Altius is available by visiting the Sales Centre on Mount Pleasant Hill, Clapton, London E5, open from 10am to 5pm Thursday to Monday, and online at taylorwimpey.co.uk.
