Housebuilding Group To Host Help To Buy Event

Berkeley Group – a former WhatHouse? Housebuilder of the Year and current Best Large Housebuilder – is inviting first-time house-hunters to a special Help to Buy event in August.

The event takes place from Thursday 11 August to Saturday 13 August between 10.00am and 6.00pm at Hilton London Paddington, 146 Praed Street, London, W2 1EE.

It provides an opportunity to learn more about the homes available with Help to Buy and enjoy a one-to-one consultation with the sales team. There will also be a chance to get free professional advice from an independent financial advisor.

One of the developments with properties that qualify for Help to Buy is The Arches in Watford. It is being sold under one of Berkeley Group’s well-known brands, St William and is a collection of 92 contemporary suites, one- and two-bedroom apartments, each with its own private outdoor space in the form of a terrace or balcony. There’s also a landscaped garden for residents to enjoy, and the development comes with private parking. For public transport, it’s an eight-minute walk to Bushey rail station, which offers commuters frequent services to London Euston, taking just 19 minutes.
