Homes in Staines-upon-Thames

Heathrow is close, so aircraft noise affects much of the area. Prices are moderate by Surrey standards, attracting commuters to fast trains into Waterloo. Many riverside properties have been raised or have flood resilience measures, and buyers should check flood history and insurance carefully. Laleham has older cottages and larger houses near the river, some listed. The town centre has seen major redevelopment, with offices converted into flats and new apartment blocks built near the station.
