Harrow Council is leading an extensive regeneration programme that will change the landscape of both Harrow and Wealdstone town centres. The ambitious Building a Better Harrow programme will provide over 5,500 new homes, two new schools, new public squares, green spaces, cultural and leisure facilities and transport improvements that will energise the North London suburb[1]. For house-hunters looking to benefit from this transformation, a brand new collection of family homes and one and two bed apartments recently launched at Alder Grove by Notting Hill Sales. Offering the very best of modern living, the homes are perfectly placed to enjoy the new super-suburb.

The Harrow regeneration scheme will also create 3,000 new jobs, acting as a catalyst for future economic growth. Alder Grove aims to transform the area and bring forward a new, desirable neighbourhood, home to young professionals and growing families. All of the properties at Alder Grove are also available through Shared Ownership, giving buyers a helping hand on to the property ladder.   

Jenny Murphy, Head of Sales and Marketing at Notting Hill Sales, comments: “Harrow is set to become a thriving suburb with new facilities, jobs and transport connections, all of which will undoubtedly attract potential purchasers. Alder Grove is ideal for young professionals and growing families who want to enjoy city life and have somewhere more peaceful to escape to. The development enjoyed a successful launch, and we'd encourage house hunters to visit the development for themselves, and view the houses and apartments on offer.”

The homes available at Alder Grove offer a superb specification. The kitchens display Premiere Gloss units, stainless steel accessories and a range of Zanussi appliances including fridge freezer and ceramic hob. Bathrooms feature crisp white sanitary ware, heated towel rails and ceramic tiling. All homes benefit from individual car parking.

In a vibrant community residents won't be short of things to do. Alder Grove, situated inside the Capital's Zone 5, is in a perfect location for an abundance of leisure, shopping, entertainment and dining facilities. Wembley, home to the world-famous stadium and SSE Arena, also boasts a plethora of restaurants, cafes and London Designer Outlet with a range of shops, ample parking and a large covered play area with pedestrianised walkways, is just five miles away. For those interested in more active and outdoor pursuits, Gladstone Park is also close by, offering tennis courts, allotments, and a wildlife area.

Ideal for commuters, Harrow and Wealdstone, West Harrow and Harrow-on-the-Hill stations are all within a one mile radius from Alder Grove, offering Bakerloo, Metropolitan, Overground and National Rail connections that reach Euston in 17 minutes and Marylebone in half an hour.

The Shared Ownership scheme allows buyers to purchase a smaller share of the property, paying subsidised rent on the remainder. Residents can then increase their share at any time, all the way up to 100% and outright ownership.

Prices for a one bedroom Shared Ownership apartment start from £155,250 based on a 45% share of the full market value of £345,000, and from £172,000 for a two bedroom apartment, based on a 40% share of £420,000. Three bedroom houses start from £187,500 for a 30% share of £625,000.

About Notting Hill Sales

Notting Hill Sales is the commercial arm of the Notting Hill Housing Group, offering a range of property solutions including Shared Ownership sales and re-sales, open market sales, commercial property sales and leasehold management.

Notting Hill Housing (NHH) was recognised as the largest provider of affordable housing in London in 2014 with over 32,000 homes across the capital.  It is a social enterprise with the purpose of providing affordable housing for those who could not otherwise afford them. Founded in 1963, today NHH has assets worth more than £2 billion, has an annual turnover of approximately £350 million and has offices across London in King's Cross, Hammersmith and Vauxhall.  It offers a range of tenancies to suit the needs of London's diverse population.

The group has several other businesses, including:

• Notting Hill Housing Trust - provides social, affordable and intermediate market rented housing 
• Folio London – the private rent division for Notting Hill Housing. The newly launched arm provides an online property management service, which allows new customers to arrange viewings, agree lettings, make rental payments and report repairs.
• Student Lets – a provision of high quality student accommodation at NHH's award-winning development, Paragon. NHH house students from the University of West London, West Thames College and Imperial College.
• Notting Hill Extra Care – provides personal care across three service types (extra care, supported living and rehabilitation services) and offers a range of housing options for people who need additional support
• Temporary housing - works in partnership with local authorities across London to house tenants on shorter term leases

NHH has won several awards for creative, sustainable and high-quality design. It strives to be innovative and has achieved many firsts - it was the first housing association to pioneer Shared Ownership and the first to set up a women's refuge.

Now in its 54th year, NHH is the seventh largest developer in London alongside some of the country's largest developers – Berkeley, Taylor Wimpey and Barratt
