Goodbye grey skies, hello sunshine! It’s that time of year when London springs to life with renewed energy once more, as residents smile in the spring sun as they go about their daily lives. For many, spring brings with it a new sense of purpose and this spring, Londoners are looking to pick up the perfect property for enjoying the warmth, according to family-run housebuilder Bellis Homes.
“Despite properties being in use year-round, buyers definitely view them with a seasonal focus in mind. In the winter months, it’s all about grand fireplaces and cosy living spaces. As we move into spring, buyers are looking more closely at entertaining spaces, as they plan ahead for the summer months.”

Homes near premium green spaces such as Hampstead Heath are therefore hot property at this time of year. Indeed, an eMoov study from 2017 found that properties near parks command a price premium of almost double the average home price (£393,000 versus £206,000 at the time the study was carried out).
Hampstead is alive with greenery at this time of year. As well enjoying 320 acres of ancient heathland, Hampstead Village is also home to a scheme to ‘green’ its high street, with Bill Oddie celebrating the centenary of the Heath and Hampstead Society by planting trees for shoppers to enjoy. Hampstead Heath itself is a stunning public space packed with ponds, playgrounds, a lido and a training track, as hilly woodlands that are perfect for exploring in the spring air. It’s one of the key attractions in the area.
Homes such as those at Bellis Homes’ new Four5Two development offer Hampstead residents the full benefits from living by the Heath. The scents of spring can be enjoyed from the spacious balconies, while all the fun of the park is on the doorstep. They are the ideal homes for those looking to throw open the windows and embrace spring life in earnest. With contemporary, luxurious interiors, the apartments at Four5Two provide an idyllic setting for those looking to entertain, as well as for daily family life.
“At Four5Two we’ve sought to provide Londoners with the perfect combination of city life and park-side living. The development is conveniently located for life in Hampstead, as well as for access to central London. It also offers all of the health benefits – both mental and physical – that come with access to such an abundance of green space. We’ve also provided a 24/7 concierge service to take care of details like booking taxis, theatre tickets and dry cleaning, so that residents can have more time to enjoy their homes and the local area.”
