The lowdown on Mansion Blocks
These striking, red brick apartment blocks have a sense of granduer about them, making them an appealing place to live. Often found in well connected areas, such as Maida Vale and West Hampstead, which offer a welcome, but nearby retreat from the hustle and bustle of central London.
Primelocation.com takes a look at the pros and cons of mansion block living, a little bit of history and some advise on buying one for yourself. Read the article on Mansion blocks here.
We raise even more money for Fight for Life
Maida Vale’s music night proved to be a huge success on August 20th, raising a massive £2,800 for Fight for Life. Everyone that came really enjoyed themselves and the night went without a hitch…apart from a last minute cancellation from one of the acts - it’s a good job our Marketing Manager can hold a note or too and stepped up to the mike to belt out a few tunes.
This is the one of the many charity events we are holding this year to try and raise £10,000 for a paediatric cancer treatment centre. Keep your eye on the blog of find us on Twitter - http://twitter.com/greeneandco - for information on further events.

Greene & Co proudly sponsor St Saviours School’s Auction
St Saviours School in Maida Vale held an auction to raise money for charity on Friday 29th April and Greene & Co are happy to have played their part in a very succesful event. A wacking 24,000 was raised on the night and with our help the school were able to print their catologue, provide everyone with a welcoming glass of fizz and provide a Maida Vale local area guide.
We’re so happy the event was such a success. Keep an eye out for some more updates on local schools we’ve been sponsoring this year.
Swanky new apartments for sale in Maida Vale
I don’t normally mention what properties we have for sale, but we’ve instructed on some seriously stunning developments recently. Not only are these apartments state of the art, desirable and a bit funky, they’re in one of the lovliest parts of London and the price tag aint half bad either! I actually don’t live to far from Maida Vale and I love it. Just down the road is Little Venice. Next time we get a scorcher on the weekend, get yourself down there and go for a stroll along the canal…you can even take a canal ride all the way to Camden, if you fancy a bit more hustle and bustle (ooh and maybe a bit of celeb spotting).
Anyway - just gone off on a bit of a tangent! Look at these pics, they speak for themselves…some of the apartment features include solid wooden floors, intelligent lighting systems, Villeroy & Boch Bathrooms, feature gas fire places and decked terraces. Ooh forgot to mention - they’re not far from Notting Hill too - what more can you ask for?
