Join the property premier league at Highbury Quadrant

Highbury Quadrant

Highbury Quadrant scores on all points. Situated moments away from the Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club, Family Mosaic’s new collection of eight one- and two-bedroom apartments and two three-bedroom maisonettes is in the premier league for style, location and lifestyle. Most of all, it takes the trophy for truly affordable prices, which start at an unbelievable £76,500.

Whatever your property priorities – football-related or not – you’ll find them at Highbury Quadrant. From young professionals looking for a fast commute and lively nightlife to nesting couples who want it hip and happening and families ready to settle down in a peaceful and attractive neighbourhood, Highbury Quadrant has something for everyone. Superbly situated on the edge of the most popular districts of North London– Islington, Holloway, Finsbury Park and Stoke Newington – enviable lifestyles lie in every direction.

The properties have been designed with style and quality in mind. Outside, each flat has its own spacious balcony; each maisonette a private garden. And the interiors are unashamedly chic, oak laminate floors and chrome ironmongery establishing a sleek and contemporary aesthetic.

The elegant kitchens feature Moores Turin fitted units and are complete with a stainless steel oven, hob and extractor fan, an integrated fridge/freezer and a washer/dryer. Bathrooms are fitted with crisp white Villeroy & Boch suite along with a heated towel rail, glass shelf and thermostatically controlled shower. Bedrooms are luxuriously carpeted, and the principal bedroom has a built-in wardrobe. The exterior of Highbury Quadrant is a pleasing blend of materials. Yellow bricks echo the area’s handsome terraces; cedar shingles and red zinc panelling add a contemporary artisan look.

All this and affordability too: Family Mosaic’s part-ownership scheme, which allows qualifying buyers to purchase a percentage of the freehold and pay rent on the balance, means that a one-bedroom apartment starts at just £76,500 for a 30% share of the freehold, based on a full market value of £255,000. With the average price of a one-bedroom flat in N5 standing at £273,000 (according to Nestoria.co.uk), that represents a truly remarkable opportunity.

Lauren Nicholson, Head of Marketing at Family Mosaic commented: “If value, quality and lifestyle are what you’re after, you’ll find it at Highbury Quadrant. Its superb location makes it the perfect address for work and relaxation. Even football-phobes will find a wealth of attractions on the doorstep, from the chic local café scene to leafy open spaces and fast access to the lights of the West End. And the fantastically low prices at the development really are the icing on the cake.”

Highbury Park is one of Islington’s most attractive areas, a leafy enclave of residential streets developed in the 19th century. Highbury Quadrant is situated on Riversdale Road, right on the beautiful green acres of Clissold Park. Highbury Park itself boasts several terraces of shops, cafes and small restaurants, providing quality and convenience on the doorstep. Just around the corner is the Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club, making Family Mosaic’s development a must for Arsenal fans.

More practically minded buyers will prefer the nearby tube stations at Arsenal and Highbury & Islington (both on the Piccadilly line, providing access to the heart of the West End in minutes, and further on to Heathrow Airport) and the railway stations at Highbury & Islington and Canonbury, offering services to Docklands and south to New Cross and Croydon.

Properties at Highbury Quadrant are being made available for shared ownership sale. This means that you buy the share of your home that you can afford, and pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share of the property.

You start by buying as little as 30%, and you can increase your share by 10% at any time, all the way to 100%. To be considered for the scheme, you will need to be earning less than £60,000 a year and either living or working in the London Boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Westminster. Additional priority is given to council and Housing Association tenants and Islington residents.

Prices at Highbury Quadrant range from £76,500 for a 30% share of a one-bedroom apartment with a full market value of £255,000; to £138,750 for a 30% share of a three-bedroom maisonette with a full market value of £462,500.
