Moving-to-Wandsworth-London

Many different areas of London have their own charms: some are great for families, others fantastic for first time buyers, others perfect for professionals. While this is all well and good, Wandsworth tops them all, simply due to the fact that Wandsworth is perfect for everyone! Quite simply put, it offers everything anyone could possibly need, but if you don’t believe us why not take a read of the information below..?

Firstly, Wandsworth is perfectly affordable when compared to its neighbours. Sure, the average house price within the borough is still over £650,000, however when you’re moving to London you expect these kinds of prices. If you look across the border to neighbouring boroughs like Richmond (average house price of over £900,000) or Merton (average price of over £710,000) though, the prices seem perfectly reasonable. It should be mentioned that rental prices are quite high, however the quality of the properties available justifies this.

Wandsworth is also one of the best locations in the country for those who work in the capital, thanks to the great transport connections it offers. There are Tube stations providing easy access to the whole city, plus overground train services can get residents into the centre of London within minutes. Equally important though is the fact that living in Wandsworth allows you to easily escape the hustle and bustle of London thanks to its easy access to the surrounding counties and the vast swathes of countryside found there.

But what else makes Wandsworth the perfect choice for everyone? The amenities, that’s what. Quite simply, Wandsworth has everything you could ever possibly need. There are loads of great schools – both private and state-run – as well as many different shopping areas, supermarkets and places to enjoy yourself, including loads of different restaurants, bars and pubs. Families with older children will find many options for further education – London plays host to many of the country’s top universities – plus those with very young children will find an array of different preschools. Whether you are a parent, first time buyer or young professional, you’ll find everything in Wandsworth.

It should also be mentioned that moving to Wandsworth can be considered a great investment, as property prices in the area are really unlikely to fall. Even through the recession most of London held its prices, and prices in Wandsworth are shooting up as you read this article. In the last year alone, prices of houses in Wandsworth rose by nearly 17% and they are expected to continue rising for the foreseeable future. If you do decide to move in the future, renting your current property out is perfectly feasible, with rental prices slightly higher than the London average.
