We bought this property in July 2020 as first-time buyers and it has been a fantastic first home.

The first things that really stood out to us were the modern style of the flat, the balcony and the location. Being around the corner from Maze Hill station and Greenwich Park really appealed to us - especially being able to get into London Bridge within 15-20 minutes! Plus, the flat is opposite a gym, dentist and shops for all your groceries.

What really endeared us to the area is how much there is to do. Whether it be going for a wander around the beautiful Greenwich Park or having a drink in one of the many pubs and restaurants in the local area, it really has something for everyone. We love the area so much we got engaged in Greenwich Park overlooking the city and later got married again in Greenwich, at the most picturesque of pubs on the river, the Trafalgar Tavern!

Trafalgar Road also has many independent restaurants or takeaways which are really superb, namely Ben Tre and Sushi Hand Friends. Similarly, we are closely connected to Deptford and Blackheath, both of which have their own unique qualities, also having more excellent pubs and restaurants to explore!

For those that enjoy their music and comedy, there is a comedy store and a jazz bar in Greenwich! If you want on a bigger scale, the O2 is only a short bus ride away, which makes attending big events so easy!

The main living area is a great entertaining space with the open plan kitchen and balcony - we've regularly hosted dinners and parties with our friends and family.

Having our own private balcony has been such a blessing. It's perfect for sitting out with a morning coffee, dinner and drinks on warm evenings, or just opening the doors from the sitting room to let the outside in - we barely have it closed in the summer. At times it's been a real sanctuary for us, especially as it's off the main road. It feels private and peaceful. The Courtyard too is great for relaxing, which is beautifully maintained and also has a table tennis table for everyone's use!

The block of flats and adjoining streets have a very friendly feel and we get along well with our neighbours, especially those in the building. We have our own Whatsapp group where we share news about the building and upcoming events in the area.

An important thing for us was to be well-connected to central London. To commute to work, I most often take a 12 minute train from Maze Hill station to London Bridge where I can access the Northern and Jubilee lines, or a 10 minute bus to North Greenwich station where I can access the Jubilee line and DLR. A few times, we have taken the Uber Boat which goes from Greenwich all the way to Putney.

After four very happy years, we're moving on to our next home to start a family. But, Greenwich will foreever be in our hearts and will often return!

Surface Water Flood Risk
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year

About Fish Need Water
We meet people, where they’re looking: online.
A local agent might rightly claim to have 20 people registered with them who’re desperate for a property like yours. But those exact people are getting Rightmove alerts and calling up as soon as the listing goes online anyway. In fact, 97% of people start their property search online, on one of the big portals. So we meet them there, rather than restricting ourselves to one local area.

The old model of connecting home buyers with sellers is dying, because today, buyers have instant access to every property on the market – not everyone needs an estate agent to act as the matchmaker.
Our team
We get asked about our name more than anything else, and it seems you either love it or hate it, which is why its like Marmite.

And just like how Marmite is free of any added nasties, you'll find us free of the usual estate agency hyperbole and oh-so-tired cliches that repeatedly get peddled, over and over again, ad infinitum.

Fish do actually need water. And many of us aspire to own our perfect home - so it just made sense and anyhow, it sounds nice and it sure beats the heck out of the usual oh-look-we’ve-combined-our-surnames trick.
Testimonial 1
Would thoroughly recommend Fish need water as a top estate agent. James was great, very honest and efficient throughout the process. Lorraine was also absolutely brilliant in keeping us all on track and bringing everything together whilst we were having challenges with solicitors both sides. Great, Friendly and kind service overall.
Testimonial 2
Used this company when searching for a property. Easy to use form was sent to me to provide further details about my search, and after this the agents were very attentive and communicative. Very professional and easy to use service.
Testimonial 3
Im so glad we came across FNW. We've instructed a number of high end estate agents since 2018 for the sale of our property with so much disappoint and no luck. We finally got a sale on our property in less than 2 months. Would 100% recommend them as they are the hardest working agents we’ve come across to all my friends and family and will definitely consider them in the future.

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
