Problems selling canalside homes

THOUGH Phase two of Brentford Lock West canalside development was launched to the market in February this year, many of its apartments are still unsold.

To help would-be buyers to secure an apartment, the developers are promoting the government's Help to Buy scheme, making purchase easier for buyers, using the scheme with its two bedroom apartments.  Prices start at £412,500.

Grand Union Canal

The Brentford Lock West scheme overlooks the Grand Union Canal at Brentford and contains 42 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, and is part of the plan to eventually provide an expected 500 new homes.

The Help to Buy scheme assists would-be buyers secure themselves a new home with the require deposit, and has been made available across selected plots on the development.
