Homes in Richmond
Richmond has Georgian houses on Richmond Hill and around the Green, Victorian and Edwardian terraces across the town, and large detached houses in Kew and Petersham. Much of the area is listed or in conservation areas.
Ham has a mix of older houses and post-war Span estates. Riverside properties face Thames flood risk, and Heathrow flight paths pass over parts of Richmond and Kew. Richmond has some of the highest property prices in south-west London, with demand from families attracted by schools and green space. Richmond Park and Kew Gardens are major attractions. Basement digs and mansard lofts are common, so party wall awards and building control sign-off matter here.
Areas we cover include Richmond Hill, Kew, Ham, Petersham, North Sheen.
