Hayes: A prime real-estate hub in West London

Located in the London Borough of Hillington, Hayes boasts a vibrant community of residential, commercial, and cultural facets. With a community of 93,928 people, the area is a shining example of inclusivity with a diverse population. Barra Hall and St. Mary's Parish Church are two notable instances of its historical significance. Being conveniently situated 13 miles west of Charing Cross and 6.5 miles east of Slough, Hayes offers easy access to the Great Western Main Line and Elizabeth Line. In addition, Hayes and Harlington rail stations' substantial transit network makes this part of Greater London a popular destination to live, work, and explore.

A suburban gem with historic importance

With early settlers dating back to the Anglo-Saxon era, Hayes was formerly a tiny agricultural hamlet and parish in the county of Middlesex. The area back then was known for agriculture and brickmaking until the 19th century, when the Second Industrial Revolution brought significant industrial development.

A flourishing haven

Hayes boasts a vibrant retail district with upscale stores, coffee shops, and top-notch restaurants. In addition to a charming collection of Victorian and pre-war homes, the majority of the recent developments are around the Grand Union Canal, where it meets the main railway route. One of these developments is the Hayes Village, surrounded by large green spaces, retaining the Art Deco front of the original structure. In addition to having some of London's largest undeveloped grasslands, Hayes Common is home to several spectacular older homes. This vast green region is regarded as one of the wealthiest hidden treasures in the vicinity.

Convenient transportation

The region is an important transit centre on the Great Western Main Line, with connections to London, Paddington, and other places. It has the benefit of a flyover junction, which is administered by the Elizabeth Line, and offers services to Heathrow Airport. Heathrow Airport is accessible via bus routes 90, 140, 195, and other services, which also offer local connectivity.

Property types

With several property choices to suit different budgets and cater different needs, Hayes offers apartments, semi-detached and detached houses, and terraced houses. The price range of properties is between £300,000 and £600,000, with an average of £418,643. Hayes has an active rental market and is an ideal investment location due to its proximity to Heathrow Airport, continuous regeneration, rental yields of 4-5%, and stable capital growth. The London Borough of Hillington’s council tax rates are in line with the current developments, which all the more increase the town's appeal and property values.
