Pocket Living open day: View a Pocket home!

July 19, 2022July 25, 2022 Hayley Donigan Leave a comment

You may or may not be familiar with the Pocket model – we sell well-designed, compact homes across London for 20% below market value to help first time buyers get onto that ever-elusive property ladder.

Generally, we hold viewings for hopeful buyers who meet our eligibility criteria; however, for the first time, we’re opening things up and holding a Pocket Living open day for anyone who is interested in what we do.

On Saturday 30 July 2022, our flagship show home in central London will be open to anyone who wants to peek inside a Pocket home and learn more about buying one. No need to register with us – just book a ticket to reserve your space at our Pocket Living open day!

Our friendly sales team will be on hand to answer all your questions about what we do and our current and upcoming schemes. It’s going to be a good one, so don’t miss out!

Please note – tickets for this open day are now sold out. Register with us to receive info on our next open days!

To stay up to date with Pocket homes you would be eligible for, create a My Pocket account. You can also head to our gallery to watch the stories of city makers just like you who made homeownership in London a reality.

It has been Pocket’s busiest year to date, and most celebrated…

Since January we have launched seven schemes across five boroughs and moved many city makers into their first homes. The Pocket team have been hard at work!

And we are absolutely thrilled to have been recognised for our contribution to affordable housing across London with these four awards:

Housing leads the mayoral debate

February 25, 2016September 16, 2020 Hannah Godwin Leave a comment

On Tuesday night, a couple of lucky people from Pocket were in the front row for a debate by the London mayoral candidates entirely devoted to the subject of housing in the Capital. Mayoral hopeful Sadiq Khan launched his campaign by saying that the election in May was going to be “a referendum on housing” and from the level of engagement on Tuesday night – he was right. It was mentioned that previous Mayoral elections have been centred around the key issue of transport or policing and this vote will be defined by the candidate that reassures the electorate that they will make an impact on the housing crisis.

Home sweet Pumpkin – fully booked for 1st phase viewings at Western Road UB2

1st phase viewings at Western Road UB2 fully booked

Becoming a homeowner means all sorts of things – one of which is having your very own front door to showcase your pumpkin-carving skills. It so happens that tomorrow, Saturday 31^st October 2015, is Halloween, and we have invited nearly 30 potential buyers for our latest development in Western Road UB2, Southall, to visit our Camden show flat. We have back-to-back appointments, and while the launch has absolutely nothing to do with Halloween (although we may have some spooky sweets to keep our sales team and their visitors going through the busy day), it could mean that the 1^st phase of Western Road UB2, sells out before the trick or treating starts!

Pocket’s out & about this autumn!

September 3, 2015September 3, 2015 Hannah Godwin 2 Comments

There is a huge need for affordable housing in London. The young, hardworking Londoners who make our city tick cannot live near where they work. City makers are keen to save up and get on the housing ladder but costs and prices are just rising year on year and wages aren’t keeping pace. But Pocket has a great solution: our homes are close to transport links, sold with at least a 20% discount to market and are 100% owner-owned.

Our newest development Western Road UB2 (pictured above) is launching for sale this month and consists of 36 one bedroom Pocket homes in Southall, in the borough of Ealing. With their hefty discount, cleverly designed interiors and generous communal gardens they are going to sell fast… so we are out and about this autumn spreading the word and making sure as many city makers as possible have the opportunity to buy these Pocket homes. We’re launching more schemes across London later in the year and into 2016, so even if Ealing isn’t your area, come and say hello!
