"Competitively priced service, the agent I dealt with was very helpful. On the day of the survey itself I received a call from the surveyor to run through his initial findings. The quality of the report produced was excellent, very detailed and thorough. If needed I will be using SAM Conveyancing's services again in the future for sure."

Local Tip 1
Properties in Ladywell which are situated close to the Ravensbourne River in streets such as Whitburn Road and Church Grove are subject to flood warnings and alerts from time to time.

If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details).

Local Tip 2
Properties sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Ladywell.

In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Arlington Close, SE13 6AX, the report noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability within 250m of the property.

This should not be taken to mean that the property in question actually suffered/suffers from subsidence however as "active subsidence will be dependent on local conditions, such as the proximity of trees or areas where trees have been removed, which require an inspection of the site to identify the nature of the ground on which the property is built."

If you are buying a property in the area and this is of concern to you, you may well wish to consider purchasing an Energy & Infrastructure Report. or a report specific to either of the two rail schemes mentioned.

Types of property in Ladywell?


Ladywell is a district of south east London and some polls have named it one of the top places to live in London. Open spaces in and around it include Blythe Hill Fields, Ladywell Fields and Hilly Fields.

There were few dwellings in the locale until the railway arrived in 1857. Ladywell House, however, was built in 1693 – it's now used by the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.

There are Victorian terrace houses in Ladywell Road, Railway Terrace, Prospect Place and Mercy Terrace. 

The streets of Algernon Road, Algiers Road, Ermine Road and Embleton Road were built in the 1880s and 1890s and the houses are Victorian terrace and semi-detached houses in what is a conservation area – the houses are generously sized and distinctive.

There are 1930s semi-detached houses in Bournville Road, new build developments in Adenmore Road.
