Investing in Battersea
3 miles southwest of Central London and with Chelsea just across the river, Battersea started life as a little riverside village but is now one of London’s most desirable residential areas, resplendent with vibrant shopping areas and plenty of covetable period homes. Victorian terraces are popular between Wandsworth and Clapham Commons, while Prince of Wales Drive overlooking the wonderful Battersea Park offers redbrick Victorian mansion flats.
New build homes don’t come any more premium than the Battersea Power Station development, where the famous listed Art Deco landmark and surrounding 42 acres is being turned into a new riverside quarter with homes designed by some of the world’s leading contemporary architects including Norman Foster and Frank Gehry.
Battersea has an overall average price of £851,664, according to recent Rightmove figures, with the majority of property sales over the last year involving apartments.

FAQs
- What exactly is a mortgage valuation?
-
Before agreeing to the loan, your lender will require a mortgage valuation – a basic check over the property – to make sure the property is worth enough to recoup the money in the event of you defaulting on mortgage payments. They are under no obligation to tell you about the findings, which is why you should always commission your own independent property survey.
- Are Able Surveyors members of any professional bodies?
-
Yes indeed. For our clients’ peace of mind, we are regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) whose stringent rules and regulations we abide by. We are also members of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), arguably the most influential professional body for construction management professionals in the world.
