Chessington, KT9

Pear Tree Close

£580,000

Add in the proximity of the one of the UK's best theme parks and great value new development like this one, and KT9 starts to make a lot of sense.

Croydon, CR0

Leon House, CR0

£352,000 - £467,000

Growth is a constant for this Greater London area, with the average sold price enjoying an 11.1% increase over the past year, according to our figures.

Leon House is a luxurious development close to the centre of Croydon, with easy access to both East and South Croydon rail stations. The one or two bedroom apartments have been carefully designed to maximise light and a sense of space, while the residents' lounge, co-working space and sky garden dining room add highly desirable communal areas.

£348,500 - £595,000

With outstanding shopping options around Harrow on the Hill and St George's Shopping Centre, Harrow combines excellent amenities with rich history and beautiful parks and greens spaces.
