About the area
Who we serve in South London
South London covers Lambeth, Croydon, Sutton, and Merton. The inner section (Brixton, Clapham, Stockwell) is dominated by Victorian terraces and Georgian/Victorian villas, while the outer areas transition to interwar and postwar semi-detached housing. Croydon has seen significant high-rise development over the last decade, with mixed results.

Housing stock
What to expect
Victorian terraces and villas in Brixton, Clapham, Stockwell, Tulse Hill, and Balham. Edwardian semi-detached housing across Streatham and Tooting. 1930s suburban stock in outer Merton, Sutton, and southern Croydon. Extensive post-war council estates across Lambeth. Modern high-rise and conversion developments in central Croydon.
Market context
Current market
Inner South London (Brixton, Clapham, Stockwell, Tooting) has been a consistent growth area for a decade, driven by Zone 2 transport links and a strong rental market. Croydon's regeneration has been uneven, with some high-rise schemes underperforming. Wimbledon and Merton Park remain premium family-home markets.
