Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in Croydon
Town centre apartment blocks
Newer towers and office-to-residential conversions in central Croydon can raise building safety and service charge questions. We review building safety information and the lease early.
Converted houses
Many Victorian houses in the north of the borough are now flats. We check the lease length, repair responsibilities and whether there is a share of the freehold.
Groundwater flooding in the south
Parts of the south of the borough can be affected by groundwater flooding. We review the environmental and flood searches and flag anything that may affect insurance.

Questions
Moving in Croydon
Yes. We handle everything by phone, email and online. Searches for a house in Purley or a flat in central Croydon are ordered from Croydon Council and other providers in the same way for any firm. We keep in close touch with local agents and the other side’s solicitors throughout.
Not necessarily, but it needs care. Some converted offices have small flats, building safety issues or unusual service charges. We check the lease, building safety information, planning history and service charge accounts, and confirm your lender is happy. We then explain any concerns plainly before you exchange.
