Reigate Area Guide

A London commuter belt town, Reigate is perfectly positioned to enjoy easy access to both the capital and abundant greenbelt countryside.

With an excellent range of amenities and many sought-after properties in the town centre and surrounding areas, there is something to appeal to everyone whether buying or renting.

Reigate fact file

  • The now-ruined Reigate Castle was built under orders from William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey in the 12th century.
  • The medieval market town sprung up around the castle.
  • Trading in oatmeal for much of the 16th century meant there were a dozen or so mills in the area during this period, with two windmills remaining today at Wray Common and Reigate Heath.
  • The arrival of the London to Brighton railway line in 1841 led to building across the area and the creation of neighbouring Redhill.
  • Reigate is renowned for its ‘caves’ which are in fact historical sand mines that tunnel beneath the town centre
  • There is an abundance of green space in Reigate, including the pleasant grounds of the ruined Reigate castle.

Architecture and property

Property in Reigate encompasses everything from detached 1920s houses to Victorian cottages and Edwardian semis to contemporary flats, so there is truly something to cater to all tastes and budgets. There is a slant towards the high-end market however, neighbouring Redhill is less expensive with more new-build properties on offer and a good variety of property for sale and to rent.

Green space

Priory Park has extensive facilities including a pond, playground, skate park, sports courts and picnic spots. The National Trust owned Reigate Hill in the North Downs offers far-reaching views and the glorious countryside of the Surrey Hills.

Grant Ashley April 2024

This agency is really amazing! They promptly answered calls and emails, keeping us informed about every development. Special mention to Jessica who showed a highly professional approach yet very friendly. Her genuine care and support makes me feel calm and confident as we were stress about the requirements and moving timelines. I couldn’t thank you enough for giving us the chance to make good memories to this house with my family. Keep up the outstanding job guys!
