Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in Wandsworth
Flats in converted terraces
Many flats in Balham, Earlsfield and Tooting sit in converted houses with short or badly drafted leases. We check the lease length, who repairs the roof and structure, and whether you’ll get a share of the freehold.
Riverside towers and building safety
Newer blocks along the Thames at Nine Elms, Battersea and Wandsworth Town can raise cladding and fire safety questions under the Building Safety Act. We ask for the building safety information early and explain which costs leaseholders can and can’t be charged.
Thames and Wandle flood risk
Some low-lying streets near the river and along the Wandle sit in flood zones. We review the environmental and flood search results and flag anything that could affect insurance or your lender.

Questions
Moving in Wandsworth
Yes. We handle the whole transaction by phone, email and online, so you don’t need to visit us. Local searches for a Putney flat or a Balham terrace are ordered from Wandsworth Council and specialist search providers in exactly the same way whoever orders them. We also deal directly with London agents and the seller’s solicitors.
Mansion blocks often have older leases, shared lifts and boilers, and large planned works. We review the lease length, recent service charge accounts and any notices for major works, and ask the managing agent about a reserve fund. If the lease is getting short, we can talk you through a lease extension before you commit.
