The London borough of Enfield is located to the north and north east of London.  According to recent figures published in the Telegraph Online, between 2005 and 2015 the cost of buying a home in Enfield rose by a remarkable 56 percent and further increases are forecast.  The average house price for the borough is now around £393 274.

However, you are still able to get far more for your money in comparison to a similar property in central London.  Making the London borough of Enfield an excellent place to invest in whether you’re a first time buyer, a family needing more space or a property developer.

Planning permission was granted by Enfield planning committee to transform the old Middlesex University site in Ponders End.

The mixed use development has been named The Electric Quarter due to the area’s past connections to the Edison and Swan Electric Light Company. Developers, Lovell, began working on the £50 million project back in 2015.

Approximately 160 new homes are under construction ranging from 1 and 2 bed apartments to 3 and 4 bed town houses. Around 80 are allocated as affordable and intermediate rent homes and all are being built to Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. This will ensure high energy efficiency.

As well as residential space, 1 050 sq m have been allocated for commercial use with a number of smaller retail units being built. Ponders End library is to be given a new home on the High Street and existing shop frontage refreshed.

Peter Taylor, regional director at Lovell said “Delivering much-needed high-quality open market and affordable homes, alongside new retail, community and commercial space, the scheme will make an important contribution to the ongoing regeneration of the area”.

The project is due for completion early 2019.
