Local notes for Wandsworth
Wandsworth has a large share of older homes, with about 44% built before 1919. That age matters because older foundations and drainage can move, so a structural survey or drainage survey is often the first step. About 68% of homes are flats, which can make access and shared walls a factor in subsidence repair. For these flats, a local specialist can use crack monitoring to record movement over time and advise on the next stage.
