The local market
Selling in South Kensington
The garden squares of Onslow, Thurloe and Pelham, and the streets around Old Brompton Road and Gloucester Road, are dominated by stucco terraces, many now divided into flats. Families, academics, overseas buyers and investors all compete here, and many look for lateral space and access to communal gardens.
Flats in converted houses vary widely in layout, ceiling height, light and lease. When a flat isn't selling, it's often because buyers can see a better-value alternative nearby, or because questions about the lease and building haven't been answered.

Garden square access
