Rotherhithe is arguably not one of the internationally more famous London neighbourhoods but anyone looking for property in London shouldn’t overlook it. The area is situated on the south bank of the River Thames and all in all Rotherhithe property represents a slice of ‘real London’ that is very much appreciated by the people who live and work there. The local estate agents are quick to point out many desirable neighbourhood attributes, such as a lower crime rate than many central London areas; schools within the top 25% of national league tables; and a plethora of excellent transport links. This article provides an overview of what you should expect from the better local estate agents in terms of the local property market.

As well as these generally desirable neighbourhood characteristics, many say that Rotherhithe is a hidden gem since its better quality property boasts some of the most generally sought after features for property in London as a whole. Within the capital, space is certainly at a premium yet homes in Rotherhithe can offer very generous living space coupled with high ceilings to create an even greater sense of space. You may see properties as large as 900 feet for a 2 bedroom, giving you plenty of space to live in, despite being in one of the most densely populated cities in Europe. As well as indoor space, you’ll often find innovative designs also allow you to enjoy the best of this renowned London riverside retreat.

The modern city garden has to be the terrace, whether on a roof or balcony, these have been steadily gaining popularity with Londoners for obvious and not so obvious reasons. Terraces have become part of the renaissance in city living success story of London in modern times, with more and more appearing to satisfy Londoner’s looking for private, quiet outdoor spaces. With lower maintenance than a fully fledged garden, they suit busy lifestyles and simply add a measurable value to any property in London. Rotherhithe property earns another plus point here, since the better estate agents will offer outside spaces with fantastic views of the most iconic river in the UK, the Thames herself. As if this weren’t enough though, the next feature to mention has to be services.

London is characterised by highly developed service industries, yet many people may associate luxury services with only the most well-heeled neighbourhoods right in the centre. Again, working with the better estate agents is a must here but it’s quite possible to find a home in Rotherhithe which comes with some rather exclusive services - at much more competitive prices. You might be offered a 24 hour concierge service - a service industry which has been truly appreciated by busy Londoners in recent years. There are also homes with private gyms, some of which offer jaccuzzis and even saunas. Some also offer swimming pools for their resident’s exclusive use.

Choose your estate agents very carefully - whilst all of these features can be found in the better Rotherhithe property, you are going to need a better agent to source them. The quality of property in London can be a something of a disappointment without a knowledgeable local expert on hand.
