We are LDN Properties, a direct cash buyer for Streatham homeowners with property across the SE21, SE27 and SW12 postcode area. We are typically happy to consider properties regardless of lease length, condition, share of freehold or current cladding status. We work without agency fees or a chain, and typically a single in-person visit is sufficient for us to put forward our final offer.

We have been buying property directly across London since 2003 and are members of The Property Ombudsman (membership D12463), which provides independent oversight of our quick property buying service.

Reasons homeowners consider a direct cash sale

We have been buying property directly across London since 2003. A few common situations tend to lead homeowners towards a direct cash sale rather than the open market.

A broken chain or a sale that has fallen through after months of conveyancing is one of the more frustrating situations a homeowner can face, and the open market does not always offer an obvious recovery path — particularly where an onward purchase is already committed. A direct sale to LDN Properties offers a known buyer, a known completion date and no chain, and we are typically happy to step in at short notice.

Sellers facing time pressure from relocation, a property they have already committed to buying, or financial difficulty often come to us for the same reason. The certainty of a fixed completion date carries more weight in those situations than the prospect of a marginal premium on the open market.

Other situations we deal with regularly include probate, divorce, downsizing, ill-health, properties that need refurbishment, and flats with shorter leases. In each case the focus is reaching a clean completion within a known timeframe.

The Streatham property market

The Streatham property landscape is shaped by its late-Victorian and Edwardian expansion as a residential suburb along the London-to-Brighton Way (now the A23 Streatham High Road). Streets such as Streatham High Road, Mitcham Lane, Leigham Court Road and the Telford Park estate carry the characteristic late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces of the 1880s through to the 1910s, much of which has since been converted into one- and two-bedroom flats. Sitting alongside the period stock are substantial mansion-block buildings on Streatham Common, post-war estate housing on parts of the southern fringe and a smaller stock of more recent purpose-built apartment schemes around Streatham Hub and the Streatham Common area. The Telford Park Conservation Area and the Streatham High Road Conservation Area cover substantial parts of the district.

Land Registry transactions across the SW16 and surrounding postcodes typically show one-bedroom flats clearing between £275,000 and £375,000 depending on lease length and aspect, two-bedroom flats commonly trading between £375,000 and £525,000, and three- and four-bedroom Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses generally falling between £700,000 and £1.2 million when in reasonable order. Larger detached and semi-detached houses on the Telford Park estate or facing Streatham Common can trade above £1.4 million. Lease length is a common variable on converted flats and mansion-block flats, with leases granted in the 1980s and 1990s now often sitting between 65 and 90 years remaining.

About Streatham

Streatham is a south London district within the borough of Lambeth, situated primarily within the SW16 postcode with parts extending into SW2, SW12, SW17, SE21 and SE27, between Streatham Hill to the north, Tulse Hill to the north-east, Streatham Vale to the south-west, West Norwood to the east and Norbury to the south. The name derives from the Old English Straet-Ham, meaning “the hamlet on the (Roman) street”, referring to the London-to-Brighton Way which is now the A23 Streatham High Road.

The Telford Park Conservation Area and the Streatham High Road Conservation Area cover substantial parts of the district, placing restrictions on external alterations to buildings within the boundaries. Individual buildings carrying Grade II listed status include the 1929 Streatham Hill Theatre, the Streatham Common Pumping Station and a number of villas on Leigham Court Road. The conservation designations limit window replacements, front extensions and roof additions, and Article 4 directions apply in parts of the area, removing some permitted development rights.
