Local knowledge
What we see in East Dulwich property
SE22's housing stock
East Dulwich is dominated by bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces — London stock brick, slate roofs and timber box sashes — along Lordship Lane, Melbourne Grove, Crystal Palace Road, East Dulwich Grove, Underhill Road and Goodrich Road, with larger double-fronted houses on the best streets, many handsome period houses divided into conversion flats and maisonettes, and only pockets of newer development on Lordship Lane, Crystal Palace Road and Grove Vale. Each needs a different survey eye.
The Dulwich Estate scheme of management
Parts of SE22 sit on land managed by the Dulwich Estate, whose Scheme of Management requires written consent for anything that changes the external appearance of a house — replacement windows very much included — separate from and on top of the council's planning role. Swapping timber sashes for uPVC is one of the things most likely to be refused, and conservation-area streets carry their own controls. Streets in SE22 fall under Southwark, Lambeth or Lewisham depending on location. We flag the Estate, conservation and council position so your solicitor can confirm it.
Clay, the Effra and period detail
East Dulwich sits on London Clay with a hilly topography and the buried River Effra running beneath, so the wider area carries among the highest surface-water flood risk in Southwark in heavy rain — it varies street by street and is worth checking on the GOV.UK long-term flood checker through your legal searches. Solid walls, slate roofs, original sash windows, back-addition outriggers, side-return and loft extensions, and any movement near mature street trees on the clay all get particular attention.

These bay-fronted Victorian terraces are the core of our SE22 work. We survey them with particular attention to the roof, damp, original sash windows, the back-addition outrigger and any extensions or movement on the clay. Where the property sits on Dulwich Estate land, its Scheme of Management controls external changes — including windows — on top of council planning, and we flag that for your solicitor to confirm.
Home surveys start from £650 + VAT, valuations from £500 + VAT and leasehold reform valuations from £550 + VAT; Party Wall work is priced by scope. We give a fixed quote once we know the property and the report you need.
