Sutton

What really excites people about Sutton is its interesting mix of town and country living. This is because it successfully manages to pull off the trick of merging the old with the new.

It is situated a short 25 minutes from London via the handy train links. As regards other transport links, Gatwick is only a thirty-minute drive away, and practically next door are the M23 and M25 motorways.

Contrasts abound in Sutton. The north of the borough looks like inner London, all urban sprawl and some deprivation. The south end of Sutton is practically rural, with open fields and the North Downs easily accessible.

There are 180,000 people in Sutton, and the exciting lifestyle and vibrant economy has brought in a great number of businesses. This means low unemployment, not bad for somewhere south of the border.

Sutton is pretty much commuter heaven, due to the train links and affordable quality housing. Prosperity is evident in the consumer Mecca’s that are the numerous shopping centers, and the towns of Cheam, Carshalton and Wallington.

All of these factors mean that Sutton is a great place to get a decent priced house loan and begin to finance your dream home. Since April 2006, when housing management was passed on to Sutton Housing Partnership, all public housing functions and processes come under the umbrella of the newly formed Strategic Housing Services division.

So it is even easier to get a cheap loan in Sutton, and enjoy the historical ambience just a few miles from the capital.
