A modern sixth-floor one-bedroom apartment delivered in 2020, set within the redeveloped Old Vinyl Factory area and offered chain-free under a Discount Market Sale (Buy for 80% Own 100%). The flat is compact but well laid out with an open-plan kitchen/reception, high-ceiling living area, and a private balcony that brings in natural light. Lift access makes the sixth-floor location straightforward.
This sale is for eligible first-time buyers only (British citizens or ILR holders). You buy 100% of the property but pay 80% of the market price; when you sell the 20% discount is reapplied to keep the home affordable for the next buyer. Important running costs include a service charge of about £1,500 per year and ground rent of £300 per year, and the property is heated via a community heating scheme.
Practical positives include an unusually long lease (circa 997 years), no flooding risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for working from home. The location gives easy access to Hayes & Harlington station, the Grand Union Canal Walk, Lake Farm Country Park and local shops and cafés. The apartment suits singles or couples wanting an affordable route onto the ladder near transport links and new local amenities.
Be clear on constraints: this is a Discount Market Sale with buyer eligibility limits and reapplication of the discount on resale, so it is not a typical open-market purchase or investment purchase. Rooms are average-sized (approximately 558 sq ft total) and communal service charges apply; buyers should inspect communal areas and confirm heating/service arrangements before exchange.
