Buying or selling in Surrey means one thing above everything else: knowing the street, not just the postcode. We’ve put together detailed guides for every area we cover from our Ashford and Staines offices, covering house prices, commute times, schools and what everyday life is actually like.
Whether you’re weighing up a fast train into London, a bigger garden, or a village High Street, use the guides below to find the area that fits.
Areas Covered by Our Ashford Office
Our Ashford team covers Ashford itself and the surrounding towns and villages within easy reach of Ashford station and Heathrow.
A sub-40-minute train into Waterloo, quick Heathrow access and prices below the Surrey average. Popular with young families and first-time buyers.
Riverside living with a genuine spread of prices, from waterfront homes over £1 million to more affordable streets further inland.
One of the fastest commutes in the guide, with direct trains into Waterloo in as little as 25 minutes and house prices well below the regional average.
A large country park on the doorstep and prices around £389,000, well below many of its neighbours, with two nearby mainline stations to choose from.
A historic village with its own film studio, a proper High Street and direct access to the Thames, for buyers who want character alongside their commute.
An award-winning village atmosphere right on Heathrow’s boundary, with a landmark church spire and some of the closest airport access in the area.
Areas Covered by Our Staines Office
Our Staines team covers Staines-upon-Thames and the surrounding riverside and village communities nearby.
A 34-minute train into Waterloo, two shopping centres and genuine riverside character, with prices ranging from starter flats to premium waterfront homes.
A university town with a strong recent growth trend, home to Royal Holloway and a regenerated town centre with new shops and an Everyman cinema.
Recently named one of the 10 best places to live in Surrey, this village sits on the edge of Windsor Great Park with a strong community feel.
A small, close-knit village between two reservoirs, less than a mile from Heathrow Terminal 5, with its own village hall and residents’ association.
A village built around water, with two train stations, reservoir watersports and some of the best riverfront properties in the area.
Character homes with big gardens for under £500,000, close to Thorpe Park, though with a slower train commute than neighbouring towns.
