Investing in Greenwich
Located in Southeast London, Greenwich is famous as the home for the Prime Meridian and Greenwich Mean Time. Property here is in high demand as it provides residents with the best of both worlds, town and country.
There’s beautiful architecture, spacious parks and of course the Royal Observatory attracting thousands of visitors every year. The Royal Borough of Greenwich offers a wide range of diverse accommodation, ranging from new builds to beautiful Georgian terraced houses and more, with Avery Hill, Plumstead and Eltham being the most desirable areas.
The former gasworks site at Greenwich Peninsula is currently undergoing a regeneration megaproject, courtesy of Chinese developer Knight Dragon. It’s the biggest regeneration project London has ever seen undertaken by a single developer.
Greenwich has an average overall property price of around £590,252 (Rightmove), more expensive thana nearby Deptford, Charlton and Kidbrooke. Last year, prices were up by 12% on the previous year and 10% up on 2016, with most property transaction involving flats.

FAQs
Sadly, too many homebuyers don’t bother with a home survey, believing that their layman’s appraisal of the building is sufficient evidence. This is a huge risk that can potentially cost many thousands of pounds in repair costs. A mid-range survey will cost a few hundred pounds but may save you from having to deal with dry rot, timber decay, subsidence, Japanese knotweed and more.
Cracks in walls, or doors or windows being out of alignment or not closing properly, can be a sign of subsidence. If you are at all worried, we offer building movement monitoring services over 3-12 months to give you a clear record of what is happening and, where relevant, what is causing movements in your building foundations, and advise on any appropriate action to take.
