ISLAND offers many perks to the prospective London home mover

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference - in your home as much as in your life in general. This is why we would like to highlight some of the less talked-about advantages of purchasing some of the most stunning living accommodation in Croydon today.

A free Zipcar membership

If you are moving to London, where public transport is the main way of getting from A to B, it would be understandable to choose to leave your car behind.

There are some situations, however, where a car may be required - such as when embarking on a large shopping run, buying furniture or jetting off on a weekend away.

This is where the services of Zipcar come in handy. The international car club is a cheap alternative to car rental – as a member, you simply choose from the selection of cars and vans from the nearest Zipcar location, and duly go.

Should you purchase a property with ISLAND, you will benefit from a single year's free membership with £50 driving credit. We’ll even cover fuel, insurance and your congestion charge too.

The utmost in privacy and security

Whether or not you have previously lived in a block of apartments in a busy cosmopolitan city, it is completely natural to have concerns about your privacy and security.

With ISLAND, however , it’s another story. This elegant 20-storey tower is a fully-secured, gated community – a place of peace amid the hustle and bustle of London.

ISLAND boasts all-encompassing 24-hour security, with the grounds, car park and entrance lobby all CCTV-monitored. Furthermore, every apartment and penthouse features an audio and video entry phone system.

However, these are just a few of the many security features that will help to make you feel absolutely safe as an ISLAND resident, so feel free to contact us if you have any further queries or concerns.

You will be doing your bit for the planet

10% of the energy used by everyone living in ISLAND is provided by renewable energy production methods, which impressively minimises the building's overall carbon footprint.

Then, there's our onsite collection scheme that maximises the use of rainwater, in our pleasant communal garden in particular.

Still not convinced? Give ISLAND a call today to find out more about the properties we still have for sale within this jaw-dropping glass-fronted development in the heart of the greatest city in the world – but hurry, they’re moving fast. 

Making ISLAND your new home? Here are some last-minute moving tips

Moving home can be one of the most stressful things that you ever do in life – even if it’s to somewhere as welcoming, safe and well-equipped as ISLAND.

If you are in the process of looking at properties in Croydon or anywhere else for that matter, you’re in luck – we’ve compiled some of the best tried-and-tested (and often overlooked) tips and advice on moving that you’re likely to find.

Be ruthless

It’s surprising how many boxes and bags can be filled with things that you haven’t used in a while, and probably won’t use after you’ve moved.

With possessions like clothing, DVDS/CDs and anything else fairly disposable, make three piles – ‘bin’, ‘reuse/recycle/give away’ and ‘keep’. Sort the items accordingly, and you’re good to go.

If you’re worried about a lack of anything to watch on telly after this, don’t fret. All of the apartments in ISLAND come equipped with multimedia network cabling and Freeview connection as standard. You also have the opportunity to upgrade to a Sky satellite TV subscription if you so please.

You’re never far away from shopping opportunities in Croydon either, should you massively regret binning that box set.

Pack an overnight bag

Gather up all of your essentials into an overnight bag before you begin packing. Once you do make the move, it's almost guaranteed that you will be too tired to immediately unpack all of your things.

Pack a few changes of clothes, toiletries, a laptop, chargers and anything else you wish to have within easy access during your move – it’s surprising how many people will pack something they desperately need right at the bottom of a box.

We wouldn’t blame you for wanting to kick back and relax once you arrive at your new apartment. After all, all of the bedrooms in ISLAND are fitted with underfloor heating and come with a Freeview TV as standard.

You will be in safe hands when moving in with ISLAND, not least as we have 24-hour security, as well as CCTV throughout the building.

Croydon can't possibly be rich in culture... can it?

Although some may be accustomed to seeing Croydon as 'just a town', many others - especially actual past and present residents of the area - appreciate just what a wealth of culture this part of London has to offer.

Indeed, it is this cultural richness that is one of the main attractions for people who are considering living in Croydon, particularly ISLAND, which is one of the locality's most desirable property developments yet.

Music lovers will be stuck for choice

Croydon is home to the infamous Brit School, which has spawned music stars such as Adele, Amy Winehouse and the Kooks, to name a few.

Fairfield Halls, meanwhile, is a long-established venue that plays host to some of the biggest names in music, comedy and theatre. The Beatles, Queen and Johnny Cash have all played here, to name just a small proportion of past distinguished guests.

Appearances in the media

If you are contemplating a new life in Croydon, the likelihood is that you have had a good look around the area already, even if you have never visited in person, thanks to several popular TV shows.

Popular Channel 4 comedy Peep Show is set in the town, while ITV police drama The Bill also had many of its scenes filmed here. Croydon has also appeared on many other TV shows and even music videos.

The main conference hall of the aforementioned Fairfield Halls was also used in the opening of blockbuster film The Da Vinci Code, so keep your eyes peeled.

Don't be fooled by the 'old' Croydon!

Are those the only captivating cultural sights and sounds in Croydon? Not in the slightest, as there’s also an abundance of theatres, libraries and sightseeing opportunities for you to take in as a Croydon resident. Quite frankly, you'll never have a boring moment when living here.

Tempted to make the big move? If so, get in touch with us about an ISLAND penthouse or apartment - there really is very little better accommodation in which to make your debut in the English capital, especially at this price point.

Contemporary living without the London price tag

Every one of the rooms at ISLAND is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances in both the bathroom and kitchen, and comes with multimedia network cabling and a Freeview connection as standard. With regard to latter, you also have the choice to upgrade to Sky satellite TV.

With 24-hour security, an electronically secured car park and an audio/video entry phone system for each apartment, there’s no safer or otherwise superior place in Croydon than ISLAND to consider for your next move.For more information about the area or ISLAND or to make an enquiry about available penthouses or apartments, don’t hesitate to contact us today.
