Flats & apartments in Northwood
Apartments and mansion flats across HA6 — the blocks around Northwood Hills and the station, and converted houses on the surrounding roads.
Northwood's flats are a mixture of purpose-built blocks around the Hills and the station and converted houses on the surrounding roads. They behave quite differently and are priced differently.
Purpose-built blocks
Generous communal areas, a lift, and somewhere sensible to stand — the easy part. The constraint is administrative: a porter or managing agent who wants the move booked, the lift protected and sometimes evidence of insurance before anything happens. That wants starting a fortnight before the date rather than the week of it.
Converted houses
The original stair stays, with its turn, its half-landing and the newel post everything has to swing around. Lovely buildings; unforgiving geometry. A tape measure at survey settles what needs dismantling.
What we ask before pricing
- Which floor, and whether there is a lift that takes furniture
- The width at the tightest point of the stair
- Whether the entrance is shared, and whether there is a gate or a step
- Where a vehicle can stand, and for how long
- Whether the building requires the move to be booked

Houses are on house removals; a single room is usually man and van.
Flat move questions
What decides the day?
The floor, whether the lift takes furniture, and whether the building requires the move to be booked.
Do mansion blocks have requirements?
Frequently — a porter to notify, a lift to protect, a time window outside which nothing moves. We handle that correspondence, starting a fortnight out.
What about converted houses?
They keep the original stair and its turn. We measure the tightest point before pricing rather than after.
Is communal protection included?
Yes. Halls, stairs and lifts belong to everyone in the building; protection goes on and the route stays passable.
Can you do a Saturday?
Often, and in a managed block it is sometimes the only permitted slot. Book early.
Moving out of an apartment?
Tell us the floor, the lift and whether the building needs the move booked. We will handle the managing agent.
