Census 2021 puts Richmond at 2,969 households with a median age of 40.1. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 32% houses and 68% flats need different handling in TW9.
Private renting sits at 43% and owner-occupation at 51%; the first group books flat and apartment clearance at short notice, the second plans it.

Richmond is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, steep Richmond Hill, conservation-area lanes, riverside flood-zone loading and tight CPZ — one reason two crew and a Luton for a studio or one-bed; three crew and a second van on two- and three-bedroom apartments or any duplex.
