The Petersham market, from a lending angle

Petersham sits on the train line between Stanmore and Lewisham, with grand Victorian and Federation houses, semis and a strip of cafes and restaurants along New Canterbury Road. Around 80 houses and 105 units sold here in the past year.

Some of the larger old houses here have been split into flats over the years, and buying one brings its own questions. Lenders look at whether it’s strata titled, approved as multiple dwellings or effectively one house, which changes how they value it and whether they count the rent. Families buying a house to restore it to a single home need renovation finance planned in from the start.

Indicative medians as at October 2025 and October 2026, rounded from public market data. Each covers all bedroom counts across the 12 months of sales to that date. In the year to October 2026 that was 82 houses (mostly 2 and 3 bedroom) and 107 units (mostly 1 and 2 bedroom). Changes are approximate. Not a valuation. For current numbers on a specific property or street, just ask.

Petersham questions, answered

Can we meet in person in Petersham?

Yes. I’m based in Ramsgate, a short drive away, so a coffee nearby, your place, or phone and video all work.

Can I buy a house that’s been split into flats?

Often, yes. Lenders will look at the title, the council approvals and how the flats are used. If it’s not approved as separate dwellings, some lenders value it as a single house and may not count the rent.

We want to turn a split house back into one home. How is that financed?

Usually through a construction loan or equity release, based on plans, quotes and the expected value once finished. Older houses often hide surprises, so build in a buffer.
