Mews homes are found in quiet, often cobbled, flower filled side streets of central London. Uniquely they provide an oasis of country village living in the centre of London. Now much sought after, it hasn&#39;t always been the case. Founder Antoine Lurot came across the once scruffy and often run down properties in the 1960s when, as a rally driver and friend of James Hunt and John Surtees he saw their mews garages with accommodation above. Passionate about these distinct, individual properties which often started life as stables in Henry VIII&#39;s time, Antoine set up an estate agency in 1971 and photographed and documented 800 central London mews. The first properties he sold were £15,000. Fast forward to today and typically a mews home of 1200 sq ft will sell for £2,500,000. Lurot Brand is the only estate agency that solely deals with mews homes. Despite being asked to deal with other types of property, we long ago decided to specialise in mews about which we are not only passionate, but also expert.

 Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on May 6, 2022

 Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

 Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s 
 Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s 
 Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

 The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: <a href="https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2">https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2</a>

 Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on May 6, 2022

 Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

 Clear: No bars, no signal predicted 
 Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely 
 Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity 
 Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services 
 Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

 Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on February 5, 2024 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
