From Renting to Owning – St George Covers Your Rent for Up to 12 Months, Offer Ends End of October
Posted 16 October 2025 by
News AdminSt George, part of the Berkeley Group, is looking to help renters buy their own home by covering their rent for up to 12 months before they move into their new home at Grand Union in Alperton.
I have included the full disclaimer below* but in short the homes within Grand Union’s Peninsula House collection are set to complete in Q4 2026, and those who reserve one of these homes on or before 30/10/2025 will see their rental payments covered up to a year prior to completion. This is up to £2,000 per month, with the rent deducted from the final balance on completion.
About Peninsula House at Grand Union
The 72 studio, one, two and three bedroom homes within the Peninsula House collection at Grand Union are located where the serene Grand Union Canal meets the banks of the River Brent, and will be the only homes on the development to benefit from unique dual aspect views across both waterways.
Designed as a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of city life, residents can take in stunning views from their private terraces and floor to ceiling windows, with the added benefit of access to communal landscaped podium gardens on the 1st floor.
Each home boosts a spacious open-plan layout, with residents able to choose from two colour palettes – Pecan and Pistachio – both of which are inspired by local nature.
Offering the ideal blend of work, play and relaxation, residents of Peninsula House have access to a host of exceptional amenities that you would more commonly associate with a luxury resort than a home. The Lock is an exclusive, residents-only retreat, complete with meeting rooms and co-working space, an entertainment room, a residents' lounge, a two-lane bowling alley with a Jukebox and an e-darts room. Residents can also explore 14 acres of lush open space, featuring beautifully landscaped gardens, serene meadows, scenic riverside walks and even a waterfall. Expertly selected evergreen planting adds a vibrant array of colours that can be enjoyed year-round.
There is also a whole host of amenities and offerings for residents and visitors to enjoy from the canalside piazza. Whether indulging in delicious sweet treats from Crepes+Coffee, located on Grand Union’s very own narrowboat, popping into the Co-Op for some groceries or working out at Anytime Fitness, there is something for everyone to enjoy at this new community.
Alongside the cafés, restaurants and new soft play areas, there is also an exciting calendar of events including live music sessions, street food and artisan markets, yoga sessions and an annual boat race.
For families, childcare and education is well catered for, with Peapods Nursery ideally situated at Grand Union and several outstanding schools nearby, including Alperton Community School and St. Joseph’s. For those in further education, Imperial College’s White City Campus and the University of Westminster’s Harrow Campus are both easily reachable, with the latter just a short 10-minute journey away via the Lioness or Bakerloo Lines.
With more than 5,390 cycle spaces available, residents can explore the 850 metres of newly accessible waterside frontage and beyond on two wheels. Alternatively, St George has partnered with Hiyacar, the UK’s leading peer-to-peer car sharing platform and CoMoUK-accredited car club operator, to offer a more convenient and sustainable alternative to car ownership. All Grand Union residents will get two years free membership.
Prices at Peninsula House start from £388,000 for a one bedroom studio apartment.
The Grand Union Marketing Suite is open daily from 10-6pm Monday – Saturday and 10-5pm on Sunday..
