Charlton is a residential area on Andover's northern edge — a mix of 1960s–80s estate housing and some newer development, popular with families for its school catchments and proximity to the A303 and Test Valley countryside.

Predominantly 1960s–80s semi-detached housing. Concrete interlocking tile roofs common on the estate stock. Some 1990s infill development.
Common Mortgage Considerations in Charlton
Concrete tile roofs on 1960s–80s stock require surveyor assessment. Some post-war estate housing may have non-standard construction elements — lender review required before any standard mortgage application.
Self-Employed and Contractor Buyers in Charlton
The specialist lender income assessment gap is as relevant in Charlton as anywhere in the Andover market. A limited company director with retained profit who is offered £220,000 by a standard bank may access £270,000–£420,000 or beyond through a specialist lender using retained profit assessment. Day rate contractors working in the Andover area benefit from annualised rate assessment: £500/day produces a £575,000 maximum at specialist lenders versus approximately £56,000 from a standard bank salary approach. We confirm the right methodology and lender before any credit search.
