Investing in Clerkenwell Property
A vibrant central neighbourhood with a village-y feel, sandwiched between the West End and the City of London, Clerkenwell has attracted the young and upwardly mobile, creative types and established demographics for several decades.
Property in this historic pocket of London is a mixture of Victorian and Georgian houses and warehouse conversions, along with the odd post-war council block. New developments are available too, especially towards City Road and Shoreditch.
Clerkenwell has enviable public transport links including Farringdon, Angel and Kings Cross stations, and the advent of Crossrail is set to benefit Farringdon especially.
Clerkenwell property has an average price of £753,007, according to Rightmove’s latest figures.

FAQs
- What does ‘RICS accredited’ mean?
-
RICS is the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, one of the leading professional property bodies in the world and a powerful industry regulator with a strict code of conduct. Graduate surveyors undergo a minimum of 2 years’ formal training and an extensive final examination before they are RICS accredited ‘Chartered’ Surveyors. You will be working with highly skilled professionals who adhere to the highest possible professional standards.
- Which type of property is a RICS Building Survey best for?
-
While a RICS Building Survey can be carried out for any home, the level of detail is specifically designed to benefit buildings that are very large or very old (including listed buildings), where non-standard building methods or materials have been used, the structure has unusual period features, the original building has been substantially altered (or you are planning to alter), or there are obvious serious building defects such as damp or timber decay.
