"Competitively priced service, the agent I dealt with was very helpful. On the day of the survey itself I received a call from the surveyor to run through his initial findings. The quality of the report produced was excellent, very detailed and thorough. If needed I will be using SAM Conveyancing's services again in the future for sure."

Types of property in Stamford Hill?


Stamford Hill is a district of North London mainly in Hackney Borough and partly in Haringey Borough. It lies on the old Roman road of Ermine Street. Development of the area began around 1800, and many prosperous dwellings were built around Stamford Hill over the next 100 years.

There are many Victorian properties such as the terraces in and around Church Street and the villas in Castlewood Road. There are Edwardian properties in Durley Road and Dunsford Place. There are many 1920s-1950s semi-detached properties. The Stamford Hill Estate was built in 1932 and consists of medium-rise apartment blocks.

Development has continued in the latter part of the 20th century and up to the present date. New build developments include the Skyline Apartments – a modern high-rise block – in Devan Grove.
