Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in Lambeth
Former council flats
Many ex-council flats still have Lambeth Council as the freeholder, and major works can lead to large service charge bills. We ask about planned works and past charges, and explain how they could affect you.
Converted Victorian houses
Flats in converted houses can have short leases or unclear repairing terms, and some conversions lack the right consents. We check the lease, planning and building regulations position before you exchange.
High-rise blocks at Vauxhall
Newer towers near the river may raise cladding and fire safety questions under the Building Safety Act. We ask for the building safety information early and explain what leaseholders can be charged.

Questions
Moving in Lambeth
Yes. We handle everything by phone, email and online. Searches for a flat in Brixton or a house in Streatham are ordered from Lambeth Council and specialist providers in the same way any firm orders them. Note that Clapham is split between Lambeth and Wandsworth, so we check which council covers your property.
We check the lease carefully, as older council leases can have unusual terms. We ask the council about planned major works and any outstanding service charges. If the seller bought under right to buy, we check whether any discount repayment or right of first refusal still applies. We then explain the results simply.
