Borough of Sutton

Sutton is a hugely popular commuter spot for young families seeking more space outside central London areas. Excellent schools add to its appeal, alongside plenty of open green spaces and good value homes. The town of Sutton offers a great selection of family homes, from 20s and 30s semis to large detached houses and Edwardian period properties, as well as some very popular new build developments.

Areas to consider

The most desirable postcode is generally considered to be SM2, which includes the Belmont and South Sutton areas. SM1 includes the town centre, as well as pats of The Wrythe, Rosehill, Carshalton and Benhilton. To the west, SM3 includes Cheam and West Sutton.

Heath Drive is a particularly sought-after address in Sutton, offering large detached homes – many with swimming pools or tennis courts. The Landseer Conservation Area is another prime spot, with large and beautiful Edwardian properties on offer for around the £1 million mark.

The St Helier Estate offers more modest and affordable homes in Sutton. Attractive new homes developments are also available close to the station and at the Old Gas Works site.

Amenities and Green Spaces

Sutton’s town centre offers a decent selection of shops, cafes and restaurants that mean locals don’t need to travel further afield too often. Any serious retail therapy will require a trip into more central parts of the capital, but Sutton has a respectable high street. Two shopping centres – Times Square and the Saint Nicolas Centre – include favourites like Primark and New Look.

All the big supermarkets have a presence in Sutton, as well as local versions serving more peripheral areas. A monthly Famer’s Market and a good number of delicatessens offer a wider choice of finer foods and drinks.

Sutton is one of the greenest London boroughs, offering plenty of green spaces. The large Oak Park to the south includes a sport centre, café and even a golf course. In the north west of the Borough you’ll find Beddington Park – beautiful grounds and lake attached to a 16th century manor house.

Resident reviews

Before moving, we meticulously researched places where school offsted scores should be high and where crime rates should be low. Sutton came out from many resources.
Mehmet Ozaksu, Verified Resident – No. 16 Sutton Court, May 2020

The local transport links are perfect for our commutes into London and work. We are a couple of minutes walk away from the town centre which is ideal.
Daniel H, Verified Resident – No. 16 Sutton Court, Aug 2019

Good place, supermarket close to proximity, great shopping area and food places. Transport is nearby and so is the local gym.
Cozaciuc, Verified Resident – Old Gas Works SM1, Jul 2019

It is a green area, conveniently located, only takes 30 minutes to get to Victoria.
Liam, Verified Resident – Northumberland House SM2, Jul 2019

The area is great; two minutes’ walk to the High Street and everything you need very close by, with excellent transport links into town, a bus ride to the Northern line at Morden, always a way to get home. The only thing Sutton is missing is a theatre.

Great team of maintenance. Good response and performance. After reporting issues in the property, efficient works are often done satisfactorily.

Please review your development:

Modern and clean. Located in good spot that near high street, train station and shops. This building has garden and podium that provides lots of space for tenants to enjoy. It’s highly recommended for family. Family may have a good time here. Comfortable for living.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish that I had known earlier that this building is of such great quality.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Thank you so much to the management and maintenance team, At 7:50 in the morning my bedroom door was broken and could not be opened, my daughter was locked in the room. I notified the security guard, even though this is out if his duties and knowledge, he immediately came to try to assist. Then I contacted the maintenance team. At 8am Stuart from the maintenance team came to unlock the door as soon as he got to work. Stuart also helped me to install and repair the door lock on the same day. His work performance is worthy of praise and I thoroughly appreciated.

Everything in the local area is easily accessible; the location is great, you have everything you need on your doorstep.

I put in a maintenance request for a light bulb issue and within one day Stuart came round to fix it. He was so friendly and nice, and fixed it within minutes. The service was outstanding, couldn’t have asked for any more.

The team communicate with you so well and quickly, which just adds to the experience of living in such a nice building.

Fantastic development and maintenance/management team

Verified Resident
Verified Resident
Review Date Sep 2024

The area is great, very close to the high street which has lots of shops and very close to the train station so it is great for commuting to/from central London

Please review your development:

The development is fantastic, it has a lot of amenities such as a gym and a game room, the flats are very well designed and equipped, the management team is very helpful and responsive and the maintenance team is great, many thanks to Paul who came to fix an issue with the cooker hood less than 24 hours after I raised it.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Nothing comes to mind, the management team is very effective in giving you all the information you need, I had a comprehensive tour of the development when I came to see the flat and once I signed the contract I was given a move in check-list with the providers I needed to contact in case there were any issues as well as indications to use the appliances in the flat and amenities in the development, moving in was very smooth.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The management team is very responsive, thanks to Jezza I managed to sort a few issues with the electricity provider very quickly, so is the maintenance team, as I mentioned before, Paul solved an issue with the cooker hood the next day after I raised it.

Our first few weeks at The Well House – Very Good

Verified Resident
Verified Resident
Review Date Sep 2024

We have not explored much as yet as still fairly new to the area but the supermarkets a short drive away and the train links seem good enough for London.

Please review your development:

We hadn’t considered moving to area, I was just browsing when I came across the development and decided to book a tour through Jezza, a member of the onsite management team who was prompt but not at all pushy on emails. Jezza was also there to give us the tour of the development and potential apartments available and helped us with all the information we needed to make a decision. She also managed the lease signing process and again was informative and always able to come back with answers in a timely manner. I am quite glad she part of the management team.

Furthermore, I would like to mention Stuart of the maintenance team who showed up fairly quickly after another member of the management team, Christopher Dias, helped us register a request. Stuart worked out the issue in a short period of time and provided us a solution which was implemented shortly afterwards within the timeframe he told us. He was polite and friendly and even helped us resolve a smaller issue we identified when he came to the apartment for the initial request.

Overall, the buildings are really well designed and the facilities really are very good, all the equipment is top notch and it seems the management and maintenance teams are too. So far, very happy with our interactions with the people and the buildings.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Nothing, Jezza informed us of everything we so far felt we needed to know.
Our interaction with maintenance has been good and my interactions with other management team members also great.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

the management – Christopher helping us register a request and Stuart (maintenance team) were great experiences. Stuart was able to resolve any problem we had in a very short timeframe – 5 Stars.
