What we see in Petts Wood property
BR5's housing stock
Petts Wood and Chislehurst run from the planned 1930s mock-Tudor semis and detached houses of the Petts Wood estate, through interwar and larger detached homes toward Chislehurst, the Victorian streets and old high street of St Mary Cray, and the large post-war council estates of St Mary Cray and St Paul's Cray — many with right-to-buy flats. Each needs a different survey eye.
The Petts Wood covenants and conservation
The Petts Wood estate was built to a plan in the late 1920s and 1930s and is protected by restrictive covenants and the Covert conservation area, controlling alterations, boundary treatments and the mock-Tudor character. The old centre of St Mary Cray has its own historic streets. We flag conservation and covenant considerations and factor them into our advice.
Clay, the Cray and period detail
BR5 sits on London Clay and chalk with valley alluvium, and the River Cray runs through St Mary Cray and St Paul's Cray, where flood risk is worth checking through your legal searches. Mock-Tudor and interwar roofs, applied timber and render, solid and early-cavity walls, extensions and any movement near mature trees all get particular attention.
