The post Say hello to zero deposits with Reposit appeared first on ila Journal.
]]>
We've partnered with Reposit to offer a zero-deposit alternative. This new option makes it easier and more affordable to move into an ila home by removing the need for a traditional cash deposit. Reposit offers a simple and flexible solution: instead of paying a large upfront deposit, residents pay a one-off, non-refundable fee equal to one week’s rent, plus a small admin charge. It’s a regulated and secure alternative that protects both residents and landlords, while helping you keep more of your money where it belongs – in your pocket.
This isn’t just for new residents. If you’re already living in one of our neighbourhoods and currently renting with a traditional deposit, you can switch to Reposit too. That means you can release your existing deposit funds and free up cash without having to move out. It’s a great way to get more financial flexibility, whether you want to boost your savings, cover other expenses, or simply enjoy a little extra breathing room. Using Reposit is quick and easy, and everything is managed online. There are no monthly payments, no hidden costs, and no complicated processes. Just a smarter way to rent.
To learn more about how it works and to register your interest, visit https://reposit.co.uk/ila or speak to your on-site Community Team.
Please note: Reposit is currently available at all ila neighborhoods except 219 Baker.

Well, now, you can breathe easy knowing that we’ve got you covered!
Why Urban Jungle?

ila believe in design-led homes made simple. Our partnership with Climate Positive paint brand, COAT, aligns with exactly that; a curated palette, designed by Colour Consultants, with you in mind.
COAT has designed a carefully curated palette for our neighbourhoods, thoughtfully chosen to reflect local colour trends and complement every home.
Check out our curated colour palette:
The Ranger
A serious lone wolf. This smoky dark green keeps the peace as an accent colour in earthy schemes, or sits more humbly than you might expect when used all over.
Jojo's Green
A calming grey green with natural energy. Works well in all lighting conditions – this refined green shade has a real presence without being brash.
Rocky
A rich rebellious green with warming brown undertones. It brings a refined and natural
feeling to any space – so use confidently, and embrace the depth.
Mansard
A duck green that's just a little blue. Can be dramatic when used all over, or pair with paler greens and green-based neutrals for an organic scheme.
Mr. Clifton
A foggy grey teal, Mr. Clifton is the warmest blue in our palette which can be used
confidently in any room. Effortlessly goes with everything, too.
Adulting
Warm grey teal, it's strong with a big mortgage to pay. If you're looking for a deep grey,
green or blue that works in any space – you found it.
Hardback
A friendly and familiar dark greige. Heartwarming with a touch of drama, like your favourite book.
Old Street
A unique faded red, Old Street adds subtle warmth with brown undertones. It's a deliberate red, but deeply hushed too.
Piglet
If pink and plaster had a baby. This complex shade is fun and sophisticated in equal
measure. A touch of black knocks out any sweetness, to give an organic feel.
Well Grounded
A light biscuity beige that's effortlessly classy. An essential neutral for
mid-century-inspired colour schemes.
Debate Club
Humble yet dramatic, this complex greige feels natural and neutral. A colour that fights
for all corners due to it's complicated nature.
Percolate
Our modern take on brown – this unique shade isn't chocolate-y, but more hushed and earthy. A sophisticated neutral in large spaces, and characterful in smaller ones.
Ready to splash some colour on your walls? Just speak to your friendly management team who will organise this for you at a great price!
