Homes in Wembley
Wembley's older housing is mostly interwar: semis and terraces in Sudbury, Preston and North Wembley built as Metroland spread out along the Metropolitan and Bakerloo lines. Around Wembley Central there are Edwardian terraces and many houses converted into flats or HMOs.
Wembley Park has been transformed since the new stadium opened in 2007, with thousands of new apartments in purpose-built blocks, much of it build-to-rent but some for sale. Alperton, along the Grand Union Canal, also has substantial new residential schemes on former industrial sites. Kingsbury, to the north, adds further interwar semis and bungalows. Many Wembley houses have been substantially extended, and buyers should check that loft conversions and rear extensions were signed off under building regulations.
Areas we cover include Wembley Park, Wembley Central, Sudbury, Alperton, Preston, North Wembley.
