Moving in Putney
What to Expect When Moving in Putney
Putney sits on the south bank of the Thames in the London Borough of Wandsworth, covering the SW15 postcode. The area is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, purpose-built mansion flats, period conversions and newer riverside developments near Putney Bridge.
Property types vary significantly between East Putney and West Putney. Streets closer to the river tend to have more converted flats and newer apartment blocks, while the roads south of Upper Richmond Road and around Putney Heath feature larger family houses, many with rear extensions and loft conversions that add complexity to a move.
Access can be straightforward on wider residential roads, but some of the older terraces have narrow front paths and limited pavement space for loading. Knowing the property layout and parking situation before moving day makes a real difference to how smoothly everything runs.
Property Considerations
Putney Properties and Access Planning
Period Conversions and Mansion Flats
Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into flats are common throughout Putney. Shared staircases, narrow landings and no lift mean careful planning before arrival. We confirm the floor level, staircase width and any communal access rules with you in advance so the crew arrives prepared.
Family Houses and Edwardian Terraces
Larger four and five-bedroom homes around Putney Hill and Gwendolen Avenue often have loft conversions, basement rooms and garden-level additions. These properties need a bigger crew and sometimes more than one vehicle. Side-return extensions and narrow hallways can affect how furniture is carried out, so we plan the route through the house before loading begins.
Parking and Access
Parking Suspensions in Putney
Most residential streets in Putney fall within Wandsworth Council’s Controlled Parking Zones. Putney has several sub-zones (A1 through A5) with varying operating hours, so the requirements depend on your specific street.
If your road has parking restrictions during your move, you will need a bay suspension from Wandsworth Council. Key things to know:
- Apply at least ten clear working days before your moving date
- Check your specific zone hours, as some streets operate Monday to Friday only
- We can advise on whether a suspension is needed when we quote
- Weekend and early-morning moves may avoid restrictions on some streets
