Investing in Newham property
Newham was put firmly on the London map with the 2012 Olympics, and the area has continued to grow ever since. In fact, according to ONS figures, the population of Newham has grown by more than 80,000 since 2005.
The borough is located north of the Thames, and has the Olympic Park and London Stadium in its midst. There has been substantial regeneration in the area which is now a thriving, cultural hub in the capital. With many new developments bringing in jobs and people, Newham could be a great place to invest.
According to Rightmove, Newham has an overall average property price of £435,666, which is more expensive than nearby Barking & Dagenham and Havering, but cheaper than Tower Hamlets. Most of last year’s property sales involved flats. Stratford is the most expensive area in the London Borough of Newham.

FAQs
A RICS HomeBuyer Report is ideal if the house or flat appears to be in generally good condition but may not entirely meet current building regulations. This Level 2 survey can also be used to determine any structural problems such as subsidence or damp. For unusual properties, listed sites or buildings that have been significantly altered or need modernisation, a comprehensive RICS Building Survey is likely to be more suitable.
There are important differences between the two approaches to valuing a property. An estate agent will use their local property experience to arrive at the likely market value when pricing your home for sale, with the intention of winning your business as a seller. A RICS approved valuer, on the other hand, will use their expertise to provide you with a formal building valuation that is technically accurate and factually supported.
