It includes lifestyle enhancing amenities including a cinema room, gym, co-working space and private dining - a place that makes city living easy.

The Glass House is registered with the government Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme. This helps buyers who wish to purchase a new build property but are struggling to save a large enough deposit. The scheme gives buyers access to up to 20% of the purchase price (interest-free for the first five years of owning the property). This means you could only need a 5% deposit and a 75% mortgage.
