Before you buy in SW1W
What to check on any SW1W property
Flood risk
The Environment Agency maps flood risk at address level — river, sea and surface-water sources are all assessed. Properties in Kensington and Chelsea can vary significantly from one street to the next, so the only reliable check is for the specific address.
EPC energy rating
The EPC register holds energy performance certificates for most homes in England and Wales. A low EPC rating means higher energy bills — checking it before you offer lets you factor running costs into your budget.
Planning applications
Nearby planning applications can change a view, add traffic or bring new development. A report surfaces applications within a set radius of the SW1W address from the last two years.
Sold price history
Land Registry records every residential sale in England and Wales. Checking the sold-price history for a SW1W property tells you what it last sold for and whether the current asking price is in line with the local market.
