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.

FAQs
- 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.
