The bottom line

KT2 6QF offers exceptional schools (100% Good/Outstanding) and fast broadband — strong value for Investors who can accept its trade-offs.

The catches: very high noise — check proximity to rail lines; 52 min to waterloo — above average for this zone and 2 Japanese knotweed sites within 400m — may affect mortgage applications.

Less suited to Families.
