L&Q at Hayes Village Hillingdon, west London
SO Resi Whetstone Whetstone, north London
Homes are selling fast at this popular development in the north London suburb of Whetstone. The one and two bedroom apartments are located on a tree-lined residential road and sit around a pretty, landscaped central courtyard. Inside, the properties feature open-plan living spaces that lead to a private balcony, contemporary kitchens, and large, oor-to-ceiling windows. The High Road, for cafes, shops and foodie pubs, is a short walk away, as is the Zone 4 underground station offering tube services to London Euston in 26 minutes.
Occupying the site of the former Nestle chocolate factory in Hayes, these new homes offer a great chance for rst time buyers to buy in a peaceful yet convenient location. The one, two and three bedroom apartments are just a 10-minute walk from Hayes & Harlington station, for tube services to central London in less than 30 minutes. The development will eventually house more than 1,300 new homes, providing extensive green space that will run alongside the canal and include communal gardens and children’s play areas.

THE NEXT STEP
“We’re keen to take a good look around the area and the development. From what we’ve discovered so far, Cassia ticks all our boxes and we’re very excited to proceed. We have our mortgage offered in principle, so we’ll be speaking with Newlon next to have our affordability assessed.”

We hadn’t heard of Oakwood before – but we know some of the nearby areas such as Cockfosters and Southgate – and we really like them. Having done some research, it seems like a hidden north London gem, which we’re pretty excited about. The transport links to central London look great for us – there’s a choice of tube stations within walking distance. And there’s a lot of green space; Trent Park is huge and will be great for jogging and summer walks. The development itself is very stylish, and we like the landscaped gardens and off-street parking.”
My aunt lived in Whetstone when I was growing up and I have many fond memories of this and the surrounding areas. The area has seen some big changes, with some lovely new developments. There’s also a lot of history and plenty of beautiful period properties in the area, along with some great places to visit in nearby Barnet and North Finchley. We love that the homes sit on a tree- lined, residential street – so a nice, peaceful escape from the bustling city, which is just what we’re after.”
Hayes has never really been on our radar before – we have never even been there, but it certainly looks like it’s worth exploring. It seems like a great location for young professionals like us who are looking to work in the city but who also crave some green space. There’s an Elizabeth Line underground station close by, so the commute into central London would be super easy. There’s also the canal and some lovely leafy walks on the doorstep, which would be the rst thing we’d like to check out!”
