Homes in Hayes
Hayes has interwar and post-war housing, built as industry grew around the Grand Union Canal and EMI's factories. There are Victorian terraces near the old town, and large post-war council estates at Yeading.
The Elizabeth line has brought new apartment developments near Hayes and Harlington station. Heathrow is very close, so aircraft noise is a significant factor for much of the area, particularly Harlington. Prices are among the lower end in west London, attracting first-time buyers. Many interwar houses have been substantially extended, and some have been converted into flats or HMOs. Hayes Town and Botwell have older streets close to the Grand Union Canal, while Yeading has a mix of interwar and post-war estates near the Yeading Brook, which can cause localised flooding.
Areas we cover include Hayes, Hayes Town, Yeading, Harlington, Botwell.
