30% of households rent privately and 63% own, which is why appliance clearance demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Palmers Green substrates run to solid London stock brick in N13, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 41% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Palmers Green actually produces.

Two streets can behave very differently in Palmers Green: green Lanes' Greek Cypriot shops and long Edwardian terraces. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Palmers Green is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, green Lanes is a red route with tight side-street access and permit bays — one reason two crew and a Luton with a sack barrow; three for American fridge-freezers, range cookers and basement carries. Fitters travelling in use Palmers Green (Great Northern).
