Estate Agents Camberwell and Denmark Hill

Thanks to the development of the Cross-Rail train line at nearby Denmark Hill, Camberwell is now fully on the map for buyers looking for affordable accommodation with an inner-London postcode and a fast journey in to town.  With an abundance of Victorian and Georgian properties making up the area it is little wonder the appeal.  Although selling and letting prices in Camberwell have risen in recent years it is still more affordable than the neighbouring areas of Dulwich, Herne Hill and Brixton giving residents good reason to feel smug.

Why?  Because Camberwell offers great value for money whilst catering for all.  For young professional families, there is the appeal of period properties with large gardens, close to excellent schools in both the state and private sectors.  These include Lyndhurst Primary, St. Saviours Church of England Primary School, Bessemer Grange Primary School  and The Charter School.  This has built a friendly community of people who also consider themselves lucky for their proximity to excellent park life, with Ruskin Park and Burgess Park on their doorstep and Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye only a short distance away.

Camberwell has also long been known for its art scene, with Camberwell College of Arts recognised as one of the world’s leading art institutions.  A creative vibe permeates the area and it has developed into a destination place for those seeking out cool bars and restaurants and an excellent night out.  There is also a good café culture during the day, ensuring that staff and visitors of Kings College Hospital and The Maudsley opposite are kept happy with lunch options.  Thus, as well as families buying up the area, Camberwell is also a great choice for buy-to-let investors, whose properties get snapped up by hospital staff and students alike.

Estate Agents Dulwich

Dulwich Village

If you’re looking for village charm but don’t want to move out of London, Dulwich village holds the answer.  Just 17 minutes by train to London Bridge, it offers a leafy idyll without the commute.  Known for its wonderful park, fantastic art gallery and close proximity to outstanding schools*, it’s no surprise that Dulwich village is so popular amongst higher income families.  As you’d expect from an upmarket village, Dulwich has some wonderful boutique shops that sell everything you need and more, and excellent options for eating out, including Rocca, a family-friendly authentic Italian restaurant, Gail’s Bakery, and the ever-popular Pizza Express.  For fine-dining there is also Belair House, an impressive Georgian house, serving British cuisine that uses the best of seasonal produce.   Properties in Dulwich Village are highly sought after with good reason.   If this is the area for you and you see a property that you like, be prepared to act fast as it won’t stay on the market for long.

East Dulwich

East Dulwich has become one of the most desirable yet accessible places to live in South East London, with a large number of Victorian terraced properties making it popular amongst professionals and families alike.  As well as great schools* and excellent transport links in and out of London, East Dulwich is best known for the shops, bars and restaurants that run along Lordship Lane. From on-trend burgers at MEATLiquor to free range and organic meat from William Rose Butchers; from the latest films for all the family at the East Dulwich Picturehouse to cheering on Dulwich Hamlet FC from the terraces; from designer women’s and men’s fashion at Question Air to antiques, crafts and quirky “one-offs” at the North Cross Road Market on Fridays and Saturdays – East Dulwich has something for everyone and if you want to escape the hustle and bustle, nearby Peckham Rye Park and Common and Dulwich Park offer plenty of green space.

Estate Agents in Peckham, London

Mention you live in Peckham and watch the reaction you get.  Most likely it’s respect, bordering on envy.  Because attitudes towards Peckham have changed.

Less Dell Boy market stall more trendy hipster hangout, Peckham has transformed into one of London’s coolest areas. Whether you’re sipping a cocktail in Frank’s café and enjoying the spectacular views, or experiencing the cutting edge culture available at the Bussey building, Peckham offers the very best of new and old London.

Peckham’s popularity has something to do with its gorgeous Victorian houses with their big gardens and high ceilings.  Buyers with young families have flocked to the area, making the most of comparatively low property prices and enjoying the copious green spaces on their doorstep as well as the excellent connections and transport links to central London and the West End.  No longer an undiscovered secret its appeal remains strong and as an estate agency we constantly get requests from tenants looking to move to the area.

Estate Agents in Brixton

We fell in love with Brixton well before big-chain estate agents moved in – enough for Suzanne Vincent, founder of Urban Village estate agency, to have moved in to the area herself 20 years ago. Birthplace to David Bowie (RIP) and immortalised in Eddie Grant’s ‘Electric Avenue’ (about the first market street in the UK to have electricity), it’s pretty cool!

Brixton has seen gentrification on a grand scale – becoming one of the hottest areas to rent and buy in London. It also has excellent transport links in to town via the Victoria line, mainline rail services and numerous bus routes.

The covered market place by day is bustling with global food stalls and independent boutique shops, transforming at night into ‘Brixton Village’ an exciting, vibrant place to have a value for money night out. And this has been added to with ‘POP Brixton’ a pop up venue for bars, shops, restaurants and live music made from shipping containers. Click here for more details..

Estate Agents Loughborough Junction

Loughborough Junction is a great place to buy or rent property. No longer just a crossroads with a few shops and a train station it is fast becoming a vibrant area of its own, with artist studios, an art-house cinema, pop-up cafes, a micro-brewery, horse riding stables and even a fresh produce farm.  As three of our team are local residents of the area we are very well placed to sell or let property in Loughborough Junction.

Just minutes from the junction itself is the beautiful green space of the award winning Ruskin Park. with its children’s play area, general sports facilities (including tennis courts and playing fields), beautiful flower garden and much loved bandstand (in the summer it stages a regular programme of music with summer concerts!).  The Ruskin Park Café provides a warm welcome; serving delicious refreshments, including home-made cakes and organic ice-cream it’s a favourite amongst local families, dog walkers and visitors of King’s College hospital. Other highlights of the park include the wonderful Summer Fete hosted every year for the whole community by the FORP (Friends of Ruskin Park) and the huge paddling pool which is open over the summer months and sponsored this year by Urban Village Estate Agents.

Herne Hill Estate Agents

There’s so much happening in Herne Hill. Nestled in amongst the tall redbrick Edwardian properties is a lively village centre with an abundance of friendly pubs and great eateries. Close to the station you’ll find an array of independent food shops that include grocers, butchers, bakers and artisan delis. Shopping in the area has the family in mind with everything you need close at hand: independent fashion boutiques, book stores, a toy shop and bike shop not to mention several chemists, GP practices and a family friendly dental practice.

A particular favourite for us at Urban Village Estate Agents is the Sunday market located in the semi-pedestrianised area next to the station. With copious stalls providing locally produced foods and arts and crafts it draws shoppers from all over South London. It is always difficult to resist the lure of what’s on offer, just as it’s always a fun day out. Click here for more details..
