Local knowledge

Moving in Purley: what changes the job

Hills and steep drives

Plenty of Purley houses sit above or below the road on a sloping drive. Send a photo so we bring a van that can climb it.

The Webb Estate

The Webb Estate is private and has its own rules for commercial vehicles. Tell us and we arrange access.

Purley Cross

The gyratory where the A23 meets the A22 is slow at peak times, so we time the drive.
