This agency covers Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith property around the West London area; most properties are currently available in the Brackenbury Village district.

Our estate agents say that the weekend farmers’ market and excellent Thai restaurants on King Street are also popular local attractions.

Our Hammersmith estate agents will tell you that for many years now, Hammersmith property has been underrated, with property seekers preferring to buy in Holland Park and Fulham. Lately however, property for sale in Hammersmith has grown in popularity, with more buyers enjoying the benefits of the area’s excellent transport links. These include three Tube lines right across the capital, and easily accessible routes out of London.

The W6 district boasts significantly lower London property prices than neighbouring areas, which means our innovative estate agents can help growing families trade up and get better value for money with a larger house for sale in Hammersmith. Local sales manager Henriette Redgrave says that residents often trade up from areas like Holland Park and Notting Hill. They are “pleasantly surprised by the village atmosphere and quality of the property they find here” says Henriette. Ravenscourt Park is another popular Hammersmith attraction, with a teashop and rose garden, and young families will appreciate the good local schools closer to their Hammersmith properties.

When it comes to Hammersmith properties, prospective buyers are spoilt for choice; there is a variety of accommodation from charming two-bedroom cottages to larger Victorian homes on desirable streets like Wingate Road.

A one-bedroom flat for sale in Hammersmith will cost you £250,000-£350,000 and a two-bedroom Victorian cottage will go for £550,000-£700,000.
