  • Commercial and mixed-use property along Tooting High Street and Upper Tooting Road, including Victorian retail premises and modern commercial units.
  • Purpose-built mansion flats along principal roads, with communal structure, flat roofs and fire compartmentation considerations.
  • Period conversions where larger houses have been subdivided into flats, creating fire safety, structural and maintenance management challenges.
