The London Borough of Barnet has one of the highest populations of Chinese residents in the UK and the highest of any London borough, making up 2.1% of the overall population. The popularity of No.1 Millbrook Park with both local and international buyers in the area, stamps a seal of approval on the development itself, equipped with a host of features to keep buyers healthy and living well.
The Joseph Homes ‘Live Well’ design principles present a unique and elevated way of living, in homes built to prioritise health and wellbeing. The developer, which puts homeowners at the heart of the project, eradicates health-endangering chemicals from the homes it builds, whilst utilising mechanical ventilation and heat recovery systems (MVHR) and pollen filters to create a continuous supply of fresh filtered air in all liveable spaces.
Sean Ruane, Sales Director of Joseph Homes, comments, “The homes at No.1 Millbrook Park certainly have something for everyone, and it’s fantastic to see such a diverse spectrum of the community buying at the development. As an area that has had a strong Chinese community for many years, we were determined at Joseph Homes, to introduce local buyers to something new in the form of our distinctive Live Well offering, and the high interest and purchase levels represents the success of this.
“Many of our international buyers from China are buying homes for their children to live in whilst studying in London, and these purchases in particular are testament to the trust our buyers have in Joseph Homes.”
