Capital appreciation

International Property magazine, 11th June 2011

London has a huge amount in its favour: not only is it host city of the 2012 Olympic Games and the location of some of the world’s most coveted addresses, it’s also unveiling some regenerated areas in which to invest.

Lett Road, Stratford

Currently the only 100% privately owned developments on the market in Stratford, Lett Road consists of 64 one, two and three-bedroom apartments. It overlooks both the 2012 Olympic Stadium as well as the Aquatic Centre and is in the heart of Stratford, just minutes from the soon to open Westfield Shopping Centre and less than a mile from Stratford’s tube station.
Most recently launched to market are two penthouses, the only two of their kind in Stratford currently. They have a master bedroom suite, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom, kitchen/reception and underground parking included with each one. The penthouses also have their own private terrace measuring 42m².
Finished to a high specification, incorporating contemporary design features and individual touches, all apartments have the use of a spectacular communal roof terrace, with a children’s play area, barbecue area, seating and greenery.

From £199,950 / €227,532 / $325,000 for apartments
£650,000 / €739,666 / $ 1 m for penthouses

Bernadette Cunningham, director, Thornsett Group, comments:

Stratford is emerging area with enormous potential, as it receives a significant £1.47 billion economic boost. The Olympics will provide a great catalyst to the rental market in Stratford and the new infrastructure – two tube lines, the DLR, high speed rail and Crossrail – will ensure the area is thriving along after the Olympics in summer 2012.
Planners are describing the new Stratford skyline as ‘Manhattan style boulevard’ with adventurous iconic architecture, improved lighting, pavements and 3,000 threes and shrubs. With a shortage of property ready for immediate occupancy in Stratford, they have had extensive interest from both UK and international buyers looking to invest in a promising area of London.
Along with the sporting facilities and Westfield shopping centre, Stratford is home to London’s first new public park in 150 years – the 500 acre Queen Elizabeth Park will be the capital’s third biggest green space. This is one of the big factors driving families to the area.
