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.

I enjoy living here & management on site makes life easier

Review Date Apr 2024

The are is very good, has many shops around, a few restaurants and bars as well. Transport links are great. Sutton station is very well-connected. Bin collections are regular and the area is fairly quiet and welcoming to most people.

Please review your development:

The building is very good, has a modern design, a few facilities available, the noise levels are good (I cannot hear much from my own apartment). The management is on site, which facilitates the communication and makes dealing with issues reasonably straightforward. Maintenance team is great. A special shout out to both Stuart and Paul. Just today, Stuart has yet again sorted out some issues on my flat. He is extremely efficient, polite and responsive. I had a few maintenance small fixes and a sewage issue and he has managed to quickly go through them all explaining to me the possible reasons behind it in a clear manner.

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

How expensive it can get living somewhere that is quite nice in many aspects, but not that Central in relation to London. Rent prices are fairly high, even though I must add that management does provide good service and the building/flats offer the comfort you would expect from a modern development.

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

Reasonably fast, always politely and trying to accommodate my needs whenever possible.

A Gem in Sutton for a family home

Review Date Apr 2024

It is a Gem in Sutton, just next to the station. The facilities and the team are truly good and the planned events are amazing for families. It might sound pricey but it worths every penny, I realised it since I moved out to a different property.
Jezza is the best thing about Wellhouse. She is friendly, helpful and an expert in her job. Tracy and Estefania are very nice and friendly from the cleaning service.

Please review your development:

The size of the 2 bed flat is convenient, the cleaning service for a communal place is good and the lounge and garden on the second floor is super amazing!
If you are new to London or an expat don’t hesitate about this place as your home. The community is friendly.

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

Parking space.
It is a long waiting time for the parking space as it is limited sopaces.

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

In all areas very good apart from the maintenance which was a little bit slow.

Quick and easy move-in

This property is located at the heart of Sutton, next to the train station, high street and a bunch of supermarkets. It offers great options for potential tenants to choose from. The facilities are top notch, and the entire building, premises, common areas and facilities are exceptionally well maintained. The only downside is the paid parking, which to be honest, makes sense considering the locality of the apartment.

Please review your development:

Jezza was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She showed me the apartment that I eventually ended up renting. She also gave me a thorough guided tour of the entire premises, and answered every possible question I could come up with. Even during the move-in as well as beyond, she has been in constant touch with me to ensure my well-being.

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

I’ve just moved in, so it is too early to say about this.

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

I’ve just moved in, so have not had the chance to raise any issues yet.

The location of the development is great

The location of the development is great, near the high St. and just 4 minutes away from the train station.

Please review your development:

The move-in experience was convenient and the facility management team, specifically Jezza Loyola, helped me through out the process and post the move-in.

The facilities are good for families, including residential lounges, reading areas, recreation and gym. The management and maintenance staff is helpful and can be reached easily through multiple communication channels.

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

All required information were provided to me prior my move in.

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

Yup, I requested some metering readings through the development platform and the response was quick.
