Your Home. Your Choice.

Resident Choice

Will I get a say on the individual features that are included in the refurbishment of my home?  
Yes, although residents have already given priorities for their block, we will be consulting with residents of each home individually nearer the time to finalise the choice of styles, fixtures and fittings and appliances.

Nest - Smart Thermostat

All refurbished properties on the Lancaster West estate will be fitted with a smart thermostat. The Nest device will help you save energy by allowing better control of the temperature of your home and monitor the amount of energy you use. 

You can access the Nest Thermostat remote control via a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to prepare the house for your arrival. There's also control for your hot water tank, so you only heat what you need.

Clean & Green White Goods

All our refurbished empty properties are equipped with brand new integrated cookers, induction hobs, and fridge freezers. 

On Lancaster West, we’re keen to improve the energy performance of our residents’ homes and their experience of living in them. An Bosch Serie 4 induction cooker has been provided to save energy and improve safety.

Timeline and order of works

When will my property be refurbished?

I see properties on the estate being refurbished already. Can mine be done now?

Will the blocks be refurbished one at a time?

Living with the refurbishment

Will I need to live at my property while the works take place?  
We are developing a Decant Scheme which will allow residents who would rather move to an already refurbished property to be able to do so, relinquishing their current home. A pool of temporary accommodation will also be held for those households who need it. Any costs for temporary accommodation will need to be met from within the refurbishment fund.

Keeping up to date on the progress of the internal refurbishment

How do I keep up to date with the refurbishment programme? 
We post regular updates on our Instagram feed @Lancasterwestneighbourhoodteam and you can keep up to date via your W11 app using the link below.
