What We've Learned Working Across Downham

Access & logistics: South East London traffic can be challenging. We plan arrival and delivery times around peak hours and always confirm parking arrangements with customers in advance.
Seasonal tip: Brockley and Sydenham Hill are among the hilliest parts of South London, creating microclimates in gardens. North-facing gardens may need additional consideration for garden room positioning and natural light.
Common Considerations for Lewisham Properties
- Victorian terraces with fireplaces and alcoves — great for built-in shelving but needing careful measurement around chimney breasts
