THE Paddocks, a new development of 14 homes in Charville Lane, Hayes, was officially opened by the Mayor of Hillingdon, Cllr Carol Melvin.

Built by Clearview Homes, it features one-bedroom apartments and two- and three-bedroom homes, with 13 of them already reserved or sold.

Due to the demand, the firm has brought forward the launch of Oak Point in Sutton Court Road, Hillingdon, which features 26 one- and two-bedroom apartments.

Help to Buy London enables people to buy a new home with just a 5% deposit, whether you are a first-time buyer or moving from your existing home.

The Government will also lend up to 40% of the value of the new home via an equity loan, which can be repaid at any time or on the future sale of the home. The scheme is eligible on all properties up to £600,000 and is exclusively for new-build properties.

The Paddocks is six miles from Heathrow and has bus links to Hayes & Harlington, West Drayton and Hillingdon stations.
