Read community stories
A collection of stories from the people who make the communities what they are.
Maria - Catford
“The best thing about Catford is the incredible sense of community”, says interior designer Maria Lapuerta Rodriguez, who took on the challenge to renovate an Edwardian property in the Corbett Estate that she and her architect husband fell in love with.
Camilla - Greenwich
“Use a mortgage adviser, they really help,” advises Camilla, a Londoner with a knack for interior design, who enjoyed having free reign in her first home - including a loft conversion that feels like a fancy hotel.
Isabelle - Wimbledon
Within a few years, Isabelle and her family managed to transform a three-bedroom “diamond in the rough” in Wimbledon Park into a beautiful and functional home.
Helen - Bromley
Helen and her family found their way up the London property ladder by moving south of the river, discovering a hidden gem in Maze Hill and finally settling in their beautiful Victorian dream home in Sundridge Park.
