Ealing’s residential character is shaped by its inter-war suburbs, with 1930s semis in Perivale and Greenford, Edwardian terraces in Ealing Broadway and Victorian housing in Hanwell. Average prices around £550,000 reflect the borough’s strong transport links and family appeal. Most inter-war housing is of conventional cavity-wall construction, making Level 2 surveys appropriate for standard purchases. Older Edwardian and Victorian properties, and any house with significant alterations, benefit from a Level 3 report.
