According to the 2021 Census, London has approximately 422,000 residents, with strong connections to nearby towns like Strathroy, Komoka, Dorchester, and Thamesford.
Between 2016 and 2021, London’s population grew by 4–5%, fueled by new residential developments, economic opportunities, and migration from surrounding areas.

Crooker Hancox ensures every inspection focuses on safety, functionality, and structural integrity, giving London buyers and sellers peace of mind.
Most homes in London were built between 1960 and 1985, making many properties 35–60 years old and often in need of updates to electrical, plumbing, roofing, and insulation systems. Newer developments in areas such as Westmount, Oakridge, and South London add modern homes to the market, creating a broad spectrum of inspection needs across the city.
