London’s West End, arguably one of the most famous places in the world, is renowned for high-end designer shopping, award winning restaurants and exclusive bars and clubs – who wouldn’t want to live there.

Now Genesishomes is offering Westminster residents and those who work there, the opportunity to live in the middle of one of the most desirable postcodes in the capital – at an affordable price!

Nestled between Great Titchfield Street and Great Portland Street, Flower Court offers a stunning collection of one-bedroom apartments available from £102,500 for a 25% share. Applicants must be registered with the London Borough of Westminster Housing register homeownershipwestminster.co.uk.

Flower Court is the perfect destination for urbanites, ideally positioned just moments away from the buzz of Oxford Street and the chic, village-like setting of Marylebone High Street. Purchasers can save over £400* a month compared to the average rental prices of £2,049 for a one-bedroom apartment** in the same area.

An apartment at this address deserves a specification worthy of it, and Flower Court delivers. Designed to combine practicality and style, the kitchens make entertaining a prerequisite, with fitted contemporary stainless steel integrated Hotpoint appliances and cream ceramic floor finishing. Bathrooms feature fitted mirrored cupboards while floors are finished with high quality white matt tiles creating a modern, clean and fresh setting. Luxury is evident on arrival to each apartment with structured hardwood floors in the halls and living area.

There is a wealth of boutique cafes, plush bars and restaurants in the surrounding area which are perfect for whatever the occasion. Entertainment and leisure is something you will never have to worry about again with nightclubs, cinemas, gyms and some of London’s most historic attractions around every corner.

Flower Court is ideally located between Oxford Circus and Regent’s Park. Some of the world’s best shops, and one of London’s most idyllic parks, are a short walk away. Oxford Street has something for everyone, from Selfridges and Marks and Spencer to Topshop and Gap, while for that little something to treat yourself, Bond Street’s famed shops, including Armani, Mulberry and Prada, are on your doorstep.

Transport is easily accessible at Flower Court. Great Portland Street, Regent’s Park and Warren Street Tube stations are all nearby, offering the Circle, Hammersmith, Metropolitan, Bakerloo, Northern and Victoria lines, with destinations including Charing Cross, Clapham, Hammersmith, Leicester Square, Wimbledon and Victoria.

All of the properties are available on a shared ownership (part-buy/part-rent) basis. This allows people to buy a share in the property and pay a subsidised rent on the rest.

To be eligible, this must be the buyer’s first property purchase or their only home. Their household income must be less than £60,000 and they will need savings of around £3,500, to cover moving and legal costs.

Once purchasers have bought, they can also buy additional shares if they wish, as and when they can afford to do so.

Prices start from as little as £102,500 for a 25% share in a one-bedroom apartment at Flower Court based on a full market value of £410,000. For more information visit genesishomes.org.uk.
