Lampton Parkside in west London

Why not buy a home instead of renting in London? That’s the question
The Hill Group is seeking to help answer with its latest incentive to assist those hoping to purchase a property.
To support buyers overcoming the obstacle of saving for a deposit, the developer has extended its 5% Deposit Boost scheme to all homes at Lampton Parkside.
Located in West London, the 523-property development is a four-minute walk from Hounslow Central Tube station and boasts a concierge service and 1,374 cycle storage bays as well as – unusually – 263 parking spaces.
For NHS workers Suzanne and Lodel Talictic, Lampton Parkside held a range of attractions. The couple were seeking a home in a location that would allow them to easily get to and from work in Guildford and Kingston, but that also fell within their budget and would be easier to maintain than the older properties they had previously been renting.
Using Hill’s Deposit Boost scheme, they were able to purchase a £495,000 two-bedroom home with parking, combining their savings with the 5% contribution from the developer.
Lodel, a junior charge nurse at Kingston Hospital, said: “The scheme was a massive factor for us – it’s such a generous offer. It was a real help.
“We had been renting older properties for so long. They were difficult to maintain and we knew when we purchased our first place that we wanted something brand new. We chose a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor at Lampton Parkside, which feels secluded and private.
“It’s in a great location, just

beside a big open green space and very well connected – we’re only a four-minute walk from the Piccadilly line.”
Suzanne, a senior sister at Royal Surrey County Hospital, added:
“The views from our new apartment are just beautiful, with lush greenery right on our doorstep and a balcony that offers the perfect spot to take it all in.
“We’re brilliantly connected for London, but it also has this rural feel to it. It’s a hidden gem.
“When you buy a home in London you don’t expect to have these serene green views, but that’s what we’ve got at Lampton Parkside.”
From the Tube station it’s a 27-minute journey to Zone One, with Canary Wharf around 48 minutes by public transport.
The development is a joint venture between The Hill Group and housing association NHG Homes, providing a range of newly built one, two and three-bedroom apartments as well as duplex properties.
The scheme is located next to the 40 acres of Lampton Park, which includes facilities such as tennis courts, a playground, a nature area, a rose garden, a pond and an orchard.
In addition, the development is also within easy reach of Kew, Barnes, Chiswick, Putney and Hammersmith, offering residents plenty of options for socialising, shopping and dining out.
“When we viewed the development, we could immediately see ourselves living there,” said Lodel. “We were pleasantly surprised how much space in the property there was, particularly given the price. The layout is very well designed, too.”
Suzanne added: “Buying new means we have a blank canvas to decorate, which is exciting.
“We already have a Pinterest board with ideas. Viewing the beautiful Lampton Parkside show home was very helpful in that respect because it gave us an idea of how the properties feel and how sophisticated the living spaces can be.”
The couple visited the development on the recommendation of a friend, then went on to buy a two-bedroom apartment with parking at a cost of £495,000.
“The quality of the service we got from Hill was another plus,” said Lodel. “As first-time buyers, that was important to us. The team was so supportive with

explaining the processes and putting us in touch with recommended solicitors and mortgage brokers.
“They saved us a lot of time and effort. It felt like they were there for us every step of the way.”
Suzanne added: “We want to start a family eventually, which is why we bought a two-bedroom apartment.
across the capital
“Lampton Parkside has everything we need nearby –schools, a Roman Catholic church and all that beautiful parkland.
“It’s an exceptional location for family life. That was a real plus for us. We can also have family come and stay in the second bedroom, so they don’t have to pay for a hotel when they come to visit. That’s another bonus.
“Being close to so much greenery is wonderful for me. I love to read, so curling up on the balcony with a coffee and a book, is perfect.
“For Lodel, who’s more into sports than I am, there’s a local tennis club that comes highly recommended. There’s so much to discover and enjoy.”
In addition to the 5% Deposit Boost, Hill is also running an incentive programme for those able to recommend properties at Lampton Parkside. Its Share The Love scheme allows £5,000 to those who recommend the development to a friend, payable when the buyer completes.
Those participating need to collect a leaflet from the Lampton Parkside sales office, which contains the referral form and a section to give to a friend to complete.
Terms and conditions apply for both the Share The Love and 5% Deposit Boost incentives. Buyers and referrers should contact Hill for full details.
A new building, Forest View, is set to launch at Lampton Parkside this autumn. Visit Hill’s website or contact the sales team via the details below for more information.

how Poplar HARCA
by Jon Massey
The march of urban renewal in east London continues following approval of a planning application last month. Housing association Poplar HARCA and developer The Hill Group are set to transform the Teviot Estate in Poplar after Tower Hamlets Council gave their scheme the green light.
Costing £800million, the project will see 1,928 new homes built on the site, including 508 designated as affordable housing. The project will be delivered in four phases and includes plans for open spaces, play areas, shops, community facilities and a new mosque.
Construction of the first phase is
and The Hill Group are set to transform a housing estate in Poplar
set to begin next year with 475 homes including 140 for social rent and 24 for shared ownership. These should be completed by 2028. Designed by architects BPTW, the masterplan spans eight hectares and includes a mix of studios, apartments and family homes.
The scheme also includes new public squares, improvements to the Fawe Street Bridge and the Limehouse Cut as well as updating access to Langdon Park DLR and a more accessible foot tunnel under the A12.
Andy Hill, founder and group chief executive of The Hill Group, said:
“This is a landmark moment for Teviot and a major step forward in delivering lasting change for the community.
“Securing planning permission means we can now move forward with our shared vision, which prioritises creating high-quality homes and
improved communal spaces that reflect the needs of residents. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Poplar HARCA and the local community to bring these plans to life.”
Paul Dooley, director of regeneration and development at Poplar HARCA, said: “We’re proud to have secured planning permission for the regeneration of Teviot, a project shaped in genuine partnership with the community.
“This is a real win for residents who gave their time and efforts to make sure this masterplan delivers the things that are important for local people.
“The plans include a mix of affordable homes, with a strong focus on family-sized housing to tackle overcrowding in Tower Hamlets, as well as investment in community
facilities and projects that will benefit the neighbourhood for years to come.
“We’re excited to get started on delivering these plans and working in partnership with Hill to build a brighter future for Teviot.”
Estate resident Avia Pierre added: “Getting the green light tonight means the world to all of us. We’ve spent years working together to reach this point.
“It’s not just about new buildings. It’s about creating a future our families can grow into and be proud of.”
The plans have extensive backing from local residents. The scheme is part of the wider regeneration of Poplar close to the River Lea including the likes of Aberfeldy Village and Heron Wharf.
