These will only be known as the transaction progresses so you should speak with your estate agent, seller and the management company directly to establish what these may be.

Your transaction will be handled using online and remote methods as much as possible, meaning you can track the progress of your transaction and complete any relevant tasks at a time and in a place convenient for you.

CROYDON

With a population of around 400,000 at the time of writing, Croydon is one of the largest of all of the boroughs that make up Greater London. Croydon has a wide range of housing stock, with a variety of affordable options compared to other parts of London. There are well established transport links into central London and further afield into Surrey, other home counties and the south coast making Croydon a popular and affordable commuter location. Croydon benefits from substantial shopping facilities, a largely pedestrianised centre, a popular market and food establishments and a vibrant night life. These factors in addition to a good selection of high ranking schools, all make Croydon a popular residential location for families. Croydon was the London Borough of Culture in 2023 adding to its popularity.

THE HISTORY OF CROYDON

Croydon started out as a small settlement which was formerly part of the county of Surrey. The settlement grew to include a church and mill and was named in the Domesday Book. During the Middle Ages, Croydon expanded further and became a well known market town and location for the production of charcoal, the tanning of leather and brewing.

The introduction of the railway is what led to Croydon becoming a commuter town for London. The railway took several different forms over the years and originally Croydon was planned to be part of the Victoria Line.

The 20th century saw a change to the industrial importance of Croydon when car manufacturing became a major industry for the area, with Trojan and later Leyland having factories and car production in Croydon. Metal working was also popular in the area at the time.

Another main draw for the Croydon area at this time was Croydon Airport. The airport was considered the major airport for the city of London until the time of the Second World War. Interestingly, it was the location in which the “Mayday” distress call originated. Following the Second World War, Heathrow became the main airport for London and the airport at Croydon slowly declined until it closed in 1959.

In line with the airport and popularity of Croydon, the high street contained several popular department stores. One of which was Grants, which was considered the Harrods of Croydon. Members of the French Aristocracy regularly flew from France to Croydon Airport and visited Grants to purchase suits and other attire. 1960 saw a visit from Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh who stayed for tea at the department store. Sadly, it closed in 1980 but the iconic building is still in use today.

In recent years, Croydon has undergone major redevelopment and regeneration schemes all of which add to the popularity of the London borough.

TYPES OF HOUSING AVAILABLE IN CROYDON

Croydon has a wide range of housing stock which is reflective of the periods of growth in the area. It also benefits from several conservation areas and listed buildings.

There is a range of Victorian and Edwardian houses of between 3 and 5 storeys tall. Some of these have been converted into flats and apartments. There are also a wide range of medium rise blocks of flats. For families, the area benefits from semi-detached estates dating from 1925-1945, ex local authority housing dated between 1920-1960 and modern day housing developments from 1950 onwards of detached, semi-detached and terraced housing, along with maisonettes and bungalows situated on relatively modest plots. For those looking for higher ticket properties, Croydon benefits from a number of large detached homes on large plots dating between.

So, despite being only a short distance from central London, the borough of Croydon has a lot to offer by way of housing stock. The wide variety of housing types means there is something to support most lifestyles and most budgets. With the additional benefits that Croydon has to offer, it is easy to understand why Croydon is a popular place to live with families, young professionals and anyone in between.
