Marlow Property for Sale: Thames-side Houses

Marlow's high street runs down to a suspension bridge across the Thames, with Michelin-starred pubs and independent shops, and hills and beech woods behind. Rail services link via Bourne End to Maidenhead for the Elizabeth line, and the M40 and M4 give road access. Buyers include London professionals, families and downsizers.

Compare Henley-on-Thames, Maidenhead, Windsor, Ascot, Rickmansworth and Weybridge.

Much of the stock comes with generous gardens, so check boundary rights, tree preservation orders and any covenants limiting extensions. A local solicitor will also flag riverbank maintenance duties.

Overseas buyers pay a 2% non-resident SDLT surcharge, and the 5% higher rate applies to additional homes. Instruct a conveyancer early; riverside and Chilterns properties can raise flood, covenant and listed-building questions. UK lenders vary in their appetite for non-resident borrowers.
