Homes in Redhill
Redhill grew as a Victorian railway town, with terraces and villas near the station and the town centre. Earlswood has Victorian and Edwardian homes, and Merstham has a large post-war estate built by the London County Council. Salfords and South Earlswood have interwar and later homes.
The town centre has been redeveloped with new apartments. The area sits on Gault clay and Lower Greensand, with the Redhill Brook bringing localised flood risk. Gatwick Airport is nearby, and some areas are affected by aircraft noise. Prices are lower than neighbouring Reigate, which attracts first-time buyers and commuters. Redhill has fast trains to London and Gatwick, and the town centre has seen a wave of new flats and regeneration. Earlswood Common is a popular green space with lakes. Many Victorian terraces near the station have been converted into flats or HMOs, and some have older rear additions and roofs needing attention.
Areas we cover include Redhill Town, Earlswood, Merstham, Nutfield, Salfords, South Earlswood.
