Read around SE13. Rents are advertised rents; the sale price is the average of completed sales in the last twelve months.
Lewisham is a south-east London borough where rents are generally below the London average, though areas closer to the Docklands Light Railway and the borough's boundary with Greenwich tend to command more than those further out. The borough covers a wide area, from Deptford in the north to Sydenham and Forest Hill in the south.
Victorian terraces are common around Lewisham, Brockley and Ladywell, with more varied post-war housing towards Catford and Downham. Brockley in particular has seen conversions of larger period houses into flats, appealing to those priced out of neighbouring Lewisham or Greenwich, while Forest Hill and Sydenham retain many larger family houses with gardens.
Lewisham, Brockley, New Cross and Catford stations provide National Rail, London Overground and DLR connections into central London and Docklands, and tenants here are a mix of young professionals attracted by relatively lower rents, families in the terraced streets, and students given the proximity to Goldsmiths, University of London in New Cross.
This combination of relatively affordable housing and reasonable transport links means a landlord in Lewisham is generally letting into an area with growing interest from tenants who work in central London or Docklands but want more space for their money than they would find further north, and demand has been supported by continued improvements to local transport links over recent years. For a landlord, understanding this specific mix of young professionals, families and students matters when setting a fair rent and preparing a property, since it shapes both how quickly a home is likely to let and the kind of presentation these tenants expect.

Finding your tenant
We manage, we do not let. When your property is empty we appoint one of the best letting agents in your area to find the tenant. Their fee is agreed with you in writing before anything starts, and Caso adds nothing to it. We brief the agent, approve the marketing, check every applicant's referencing, handle the move-in and protect the deposit. You deal with one company throughout.
- Agent chosen on results, not on who we know
- Fee agreed in writing before marketing starts
- Caso takes nothing from the agent
