4,526 households sit inside the E11 neighbourhood covering Wanstead. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 30% of those homes are flats.
Because 17% of Wanstead is privately rented and 12% socially rented, a lot of E11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Wanstead, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Wanstead (Central) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Wanstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Wanstead stock goes, where 72% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
A village high street with Georgian houses, the park and Wanstead Flats. That character decides the practical detail of rubbish removal here far more than the borough boundary does. Wanstead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Conservation-area streets, driveways on most roads and timed loading on the high street. Nearest station is Wanstead (Central), and one person and a car for boot-loads; two crew and a 3.5-tonne Luton for anything from a quarter-load upward.
