Bankside property undoubtedly embraces the very best of the modern London lifestyle with award winning architecture sites nestling next to some sublime conversions. Today Bankside estate agents can show you around homes designed to make clever use of natural light and ample floor space as pivotal ways to maximise the home environment. Many homes come with luxury services as standard and state of the art architectural features to grant you valuable outside space. This article is going to provide just a few starting reasons why you should look for your new home in London’s fashionable Bankside.

Bankside property certainly offers a wide selection of styles for good quality homes, blessed by its fascinating history. A vibrant regeneration from the 1990s onwards transformed former neglected industrial spaces into some of London’s most architecturally distinctive new homes, which in turn paved the way for state of the art new builds. Today, the more popular property includes some excellent warehouse conversions, period buildings and there are still stunning new build apartments to be had. Each neighbourhood has its own flavour, from Borough’s celebrated food market to the wining and dining festival that is London Bridge; and to the iconic cultural attractions of the South Bank around Waterloo. All enjoy good amenities, lower crime rates than many inner London boroughs and good local schools. Transport links are excellent and you can even enjoy travelling by riverboat.

If you ask Bankside estate agents about contemporary homes expect to be shown some great features. There are often private terraces, floor to ceiling windows or ample natural light, contemporary kitchens and/or bathroom suites and of course good transport links. There are some very exciting, state of the art warehouse conversions in Bankside, again expect lots of natural light and enormous windows, generous floor space, en suite bathrooms, landscaped surroundings, parking spaces - and then ask about services, for example, a 24 hr concierge.

Families and those looking for more bedrooms needn’t be too concerned as although there aren’t quite as many of these as there are 1, 2 and 3 beds there are still some simply fantastic larger homes the area. This is where working with truly local Bankside estate agents pays off - their connections are often vital. Ask them about the views from a roof terrace - again, there are some charming warehouse conversions with the right agent. Finally, we come to quite possibly the biggest jewel in Bankside’s brimming crown - the loft living lifestyle. Features to look out for include multiple levels with those enormous windows, open plan designs with masses of space and storage, abundant natural light, original features such as exposed brickwork or beams and your own parking space.

Overall, it’s fair to say that the best Bankside estate agents will have no trouble offering you ‘features’ as standard. Outside space is at a premium in London on private balconies and terraces offer up a superb low maintenance ‘garden’. And you will find that with the right agent, an awful lot of Bankside property offers you those luxury services like the concierge or the use of a gym.
