Top tips for a Upper Norwood Home Buyers Survey
Upper Norwood is an area of southeast London, north of Croydon and in the area dominated by Crystal Palace Park.
Most housing dates from the 19th and 20th centuries, with large detached properties along the ridge and smaller, semi-detached and terraced dwellings on the slopes. There are some more modern areas of social housing that date from the 1970s.
New build developments include the detached houses in Biggin Way and the luxury flats in Westow Hill.

Local Tip 1 | Local Tip 2 | Local Tip 3 |
All properties in Upper Norwood are built in an area of South London which is subject to flood 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). | Properties sometimes have issues with ground stability in certain locations in Upper Norwood. In a recent environmental search, taken out for a property in Cargreen Road, the report noted that there was a moderate potential for natural ground instability within 50m 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." Click to find out more about subsidence | Properties in some areas of Upper Norwood are built in designated smoke control areas. A recent local authority search done for a dwelling in Cargreen Road, noted that the property was in such a smoke control area. Under the terms of Section 20 of the Clean Air Act 1993, smoke emissions from all buildings are prohibited unless an exemption has been made by the Secretary of State under Section 21 of the Act. |
