On the edge of Epping Forest, Chingford offers something rare in London: family houses with genuine green space on the doorstep. The market spans 1930s semis around Chingford Mount, Victorian cottages near the Old Church, and larger detached homes towards the forest fringe in North Chingford.
We handle purchases and sales throughout E4, dealing regularly with Waltham Forest Council for searches and advising on the covenants and access questions that sometimes attach to properties bordering forest land.
