5 great reasons to buy or rent at the former IYLO in Croydon

The recent news that the stunning 20-storey ISLAND complex in the heart of Croydon in London will finally be ready for residents to move into by late November 2014 was news that so many locals in this unsung part of England never expected to hear.

That's because, in its previous guise as IYLO, this project at one point seemed doomed to graffiti-sprawled failure. That this hasn't turned out to be the case is to the immense credit of the hardworking men and women behind the scenes of this vital source of high quality but affordable housing in the English capital.

Here are just five reasons for interested parties to enquire now about one of the rapidly diminishing number of apartments and penthouses that remain available as part of the ex-IYLO in Croydon.

1. An astonishing global city

So many people merely dream about living in London, with its such strongly-documented strengths in all aspects of recreation and commerce. Those who put down a deposit for one of the apartments or penthouses of the former IYLO in Croydon actually get to experience it all, first hand.

2. A rejuvenated Croydon

However, no prospective resident of the erstwhile IYLO in Croydon should also underestimate the appeal of the much closer vicinity, a part of London that has had its detractors in the past, but which is truly beginning to flourish with ambitious regeneration efforts and the associated creeping 'gentrification'.

3. An amazing events calendar

Being on the doorstep of possibly the greatest global metropolis of all does have certain other benefits - such as the fact that it's almost impossible to have nothing to do on one's spare weekends or evenings. From film festivals and art fairs to Bonfire Night and New Year firework displays, Croydon and wider London really is where everything goes on.

4. Living quarters of stunning specifications

The wait for construction of the one-time IYLO in Croydon to be completed has been truly worth the wait. It means that lucky residents can take in such remarkable specification features in their penthouse or apartment as underfloor heating, engineered wooden flooring, multimedia network cabling and fully-fitted quality carpets.

5. House prices are going only one way... up

There aren't too many areas of London remaining that haven't yet been gripped with the fever of 'gentrification', sending property values through the roof. Not only is the area immediately surrounding the former IYLO in Croydon perfectly hospitable now, but with regeneration efforts continuing apace, it will only become more and more desirable - meaning that the value of your living space will shoot up here, too.

There could barely be a more convincing set of reasons to get in touch about ISLAND's remaining apartments or penthouses today.
