Surbiton is a bustling commuter town with terrific transport links, a regular farmers’ market and the Thames flowing through it.With good schools, dozens of independent shops and a lively restaurant scene, there is no shortage of demand for housing, from sturdy Victorian properties to modern quality housing – for sale and to let.The fast train service from Surbiton to Waterloo takes 17 minutes – an improvement on the 31 minutes it took the early puffers to travel to London from ‘Kingston by Railway’, as the station was known when the line opened in 1838.The railway’s arrival proved the spur for the early boom in house-building, with Adelaide Road, Claremont Road, St Mark’s Hill and Cottage Grove among the first streets established.

Big thank you to Tina, been amazing throughout my tenancy with Matthew James. She sorts out any issues immediately. She is very easy to speak to and empathetic.

Bought and sold in Surbiton through Matthew James several times over the last decade. We always enjoyed using this local business, with great knowledge, low staff turnover, and continuity of care.

I am so glad to have chosen Matthew James as our estate agents. They are very professional and very friendly. They always responded to any questions I had very promptly.
