Weston Homes is riding the wave of a remarkable sales victory at The Venue development in Hayes, with over 70% of its units already snapped up, and only a few one-bedroom apartments left.

Zoopla's recent report throws the spotlight on an interesting trend - first-time buyers are gravitating towards smaller properties, their decisions firmly anchored on value for money as borrowing costs inch upwards. The few remaining homes at The Venue are the epitome of this trend, seamlessly merging comfort, style, and affordability into a dream home.

Weston Homes has also partnered up with the Hillingdon Council to offer a 20% discount on the apartments as part of the Discount Market Sale (DMS) scheme. This incentive is available to buyers who have lived or worked in the United Kingdom for over a year and have an annual income of less than £90,000. The scheme allows these lucky buyers to acquire these one-bedroom apartments at just 80% of their market value while retaining full ownership.

The Venue, a grand £70.5 million project, is a collection of 181 homes at an 18-acre development. This former site of The Old Vinyl Factory, which once hummed with music produced by EMI's HMV record label, now resonates with the sounds of satisfied new homeowners. The available one- and two-bedroom apartments come with private balconies or terraces, a stunning central podium garden, and assigned parking for select units. And with the Hayes & Harlington Station just a breezy six-minute stroll away, London and Heathrow are but a quick train ride away.

Weston Homes leave no stone unturned in decking out The Venue apartments with top-of-the-range amenities. Hyperoptic superfast broadband keeps the work-from-home crowd happy, while the stylish kitchens—outfitted by Oakwood Kitchens—dazzle with quartz stone worktops, modern appliances, and sleek fixtures. A splash of luxury awaits in the en suite bathrooms, complete with Fascino Smart showers, smart taps, and LED-lit smart mirrors with de-mist features. And for the nostalgia seekers, the buildings bear the names of the erstwhile record factory structures—a nod to the site's rich musical past.

First-time buyer Alessandro Sottilaro, who has reserved an apartment with Weston Homes using the DMS scheme commented: “I liked the Weston Homes apartments, but I initially thought that we could not afford one until I found the Discount Market Salescheme which offers a 20% discount. By using the discount, we could afford a new apartment that is perfect for us. We went directly to the showroom, met the sales consultants and within five minutes we wanted one of the homes and bought immediately. I love the fact that it is so fresh, modern and finished to such a high standard”.

Suzanne Aplin, Group Sales & Marketing Director at Weston Homes added: “These remaining one-bedroom apartments at The Venue present an incredible opportunity for first-time buyers to own a stylish and well-connected home in West London. With a preference for smaller properties becoming increasingly evident among first-time buyers, these homes offer an ideal combination of style and affordability in an excellent location, making them the perfect choice for those taking their first steps onto the property ladder. Buyers looking to purchase one of the remaining homes at the development must act swiftly, as the limited availability of these homes means they are in high demand."

The Discount Market Sale prices at The Venue start from £279,000 for a one-bedroom apartment (price reflects the 20% saving, subject to eligibility criteria). For buyers not eligible to buy a home with the help of Discount Market Sale, there is a further range of private for sale new one-bedroom apartments priced from £319,995. 

The marketing suite and show home are open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm.
