Buying in Harrow

Tucked into the northwestern corner of London near Barnet, Brent and Hillingdon, the London Borough of Harrow has leafy residential areas and a prosperous local economy. Being only a short commute into the West End, it’s a hotspot for young families and retired couples, and the area has the third largest population of millionaires in London.

Prime residential areas include large detached houses on Mount Park Road and South Hill Avenue that feel more like a garden suburb. Large detached homes and 1930s semis can also be found along Gerard Road, Flambard Road and Elmwood Avenue.

Development in the area is set to continue, with new homes being built in the town centre. According to recent Rightmove figures, Harrow has an overall average property price of £466,956, more than nearby Harrow On The Hill and West Harrow. Most property sales last year involved flats.

Why bother with a Schedule of Condition?: A Schedule of Condition is a clear record that is designed to protect the respective property interests of neighbouring property owners, or landlords and tenants. The document outlines and agrees the condition of the property, as well as any potential repair work that may be needed, before the commencement of the lease or any construction works.
What are the advantages of carrying out an aerial survey?: A drone survey is a faster, safer and more cost effective way to survey tall structures, large buildings and hard-to-reach building elements. Using the latest in unmanned aerial systems technology, otherwise known as drones, it is possible to obtain accurate photography and live high definition video footage to give a clear record to inform your decision making.

I can't say enough good things about Able - not just on the survey quality, but also on the excellent communication. They knew I was in a hurry, and they made sure they gave me the earliest possible slot (about a week after paying). On the day, the surveyor kindly called me and spent half an hour talking through what he found, to put my mind at ease. The next day, I got a summary of the survey. And a couple of days later, the full survey report. It was incredibly detailed, and answered all my questions. It also listed the costs of each repair. A few weeks later, and after the searches came back, I emailed Able with a list of questions. A couple of hours later, the surveyor personally called me and spent an hour going through each point step by step. At no point did I feel rushed, and he spent time reassuring me about each item I was worried about. All in all, dealing with Able was the best experience I have had in the home-buying process, and I would be delighted to use them again if I ever buy another place.

Jack did a great job for us and was available for any follow-up questions in a timely manner. We got a thorough and professional report at a much more reasonable cost than other firms. Thank you!

One of the best people you want to use when considering buying a property. Communication was second to none and the report provided was detailed and gave me the assurance I was looking for. Very reasonable price for a first time buyer.

I am happy with service they provided. I was in dark regarding a house that I am going to buy but they stepped in and shed some lights and gave me some insights about the condition of the property. They are resposive nd helpful. I am happy with their service and also I have to mention that their price was reasonable.

My second time using their services, this time with surveyor Jack. As always: professional report, prompt response with follow up call. Honest (refunded unnecessary part of the survey). Got returning customer discount. Absolutely nothing to complain. They are ABLE, as the name says.
