"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."

Local Tip 2
Some properties in Colliers Wood may be located in an area which is subject to a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).

A recent local authority search for a property in Griffiths Road, Merton, SW19 1SS revealed that it was within a CIL area.

The Community Infrastructure Levy is a planning charge, introduced by the Planning Act 2008 as a tool for local authorities in England and Wales to help deliver infrastructure to support the development of their area. It came into force on 6 April 2010 through the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. Development may be liable for a charge under the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), if your local planning authority has chosen to set a charge in its area.

Raised levels of noise pollution from roads in the Colliers Wood area are highest around the main roads of the High Street Colliers Wood/A24 and Merton High Street and Christchurch Road, affecting nearby streets such as Colwood Gardens and Fortescue Road.
