Brent Cross — One of Europe’s Largest and Ambitious Regeneration Stories
Brent Cross and the NW4, NW2 and NW11 postcodes sit at one of North London's most significant property intersections: a Northern line corridor undergoing £8 billion[1] of regeneration, with the new Brent Cross West Thameslink station now placing King's Cross just 12 minutes away. With the Brent Cross Town masterplan delivering 6,700 new homes[2] alongside 50 acres of parkland and 3 million sq ft of office space, the area is drawing a new wave of professional and international tenants alongside its established residential community.
For landlords and developers operating in Brent Cross, furnishing quality directly affects rental yield, void periods and tenant quality. InStyle Direct has furnished properties across NW4, NW2 and NW11 — from high-specification new-builds at The Ashbee and The Delamarre to established purpose-built flats near Hendon Central and family conversions across Cricklewood. All furniture is purchased outright by our clients with no hire fees, no ongoing costs and no collection clauses.
