34-year-old Sabah Khan had been searching for a place to call her home for a long time – two years in fact. Buying your first home is a big investment and a life changing choice, and Sabah needed to make sure that she found a home that could tick all the right boxes.
“It felt like I saw hundreds of homes!” she quipped. “In reality, I probably visited around 30 in the end, both a mixture of older homes and a number of new builds.”
Being close to her family in Wembley, particularly during lockdown, was understandably important to her – as was finding a place that was within her price bracket and close to a tube station.
The search clearly wasn’t easy, but luckily, she finally ended up stumbling across The Lock at Greenford Quay.
Located on the edge of the beautiful Grand Union Canal in Greenford, The Lock has something for everyone – nature to explore; walking and cycle paths through ancient woodlands; an array of shops, restaurants and leisure options; and a tube station just a short five minutes walk away, giving residents quick and easy access into and out of Central London.
“I admittedly didn’t know much about the area before I looked here, but I love it. It’s well-connected, there are lots of things to do, and I feel safe and secure.”
And importantly for Shabah, it’s affordable too. Prices start from £395,500 for a 1 bedroom apartment – and Help to Buy is still available on selected apartments across the development.
It’s not just the area that Shabah was drawn in by – but The Lock’s facilities too.
Boasting an array of on-site amenities, including a 16-hour concierge service, a fully equipped gym, landscaped gardens, on-site cafes and a supermarket, and a flexible working zone as an alternative and refreshing space to working from home, The Lock has everything buyers need to live a contemporary London lifestyle.
“I really love the facilities on offer here – the gym, the concierge and the flexible working spaces are real selling points for me.”
