At Pocket we build homes for people we call city makers. These are the Londoners who contribute economically, socially and culturally to the day-to-day life of the capital. Pocket homes are discounted by 20% to the local market, allowing Pocket owners to own 100% of their home at a discounted price.

Inside, every nook and cranny has been considered. The open-plan living, kitchen and dining area is unified by a single floor finish, with extra-wide, full-height windows letting light flood in. The fully-fitted kitchen has a slimline laminate worktop and built-in Beko appliances, while the bedroom has room for a double bed, a pair of bedside tables and a wardrobe - no compromises required.

We're not just thinking about your wallet, but the planet too. The wide plank flooring contains up to 44% recycled content and is fully recyclable at the end of its life, the ovens incorporate ghost fishing net thread, the kitchen timber is sourced from responsibly managed forestry, and the solid surface vanity top is hygienic, renewable and repairable.

All residents will have access to two communal courtyard areas and two communal roof terraces. These spaces have raised planters and are designed with seating areas to relax and socialise, plus allotments for green-fingered residents.

The development is located just a 10-minute walk from Harrow-on-the-Hill Station where the Metropolitan Line whisks you to Baker Street in just 20 minutes.

Pocket homes are not for buy-to-let investors. They're designed for people who need a home to live in. That's why we don't allow subletting, except in extenuating circumstances. We also manage an annual verification process to make sure Pocket homes are still occupied by the people they were intended for.

When you buy a Pocket home, it's a long-term step onto the housing ladder. Even when resold, they'll always be offered first to local buyers who don't own a residential property, and earn below the Mayor of London's affordable housing cap. We help manage resales to ensure the home goes to another eligible buyer, keeping it within reach for those who need it most.
