Bromley has Edwardian and interwar houses on larger plots, plus Victorian stock nearer the centre. Pitches tend to be steeper than the West London average and clay plain tiles are common, which means a lot of tiles per square metre and a lot of small fixings.
Steep plain-tile roofs hide their problems well because water runs off fast. By the time anything shows inside, the underlay behind has often been breaking down for years.

Plain tiles use lots of nails, and they rust.
Where two slopes meet, the water is concentrated.

No. Plain-tile roofs in particular can look sound while the underlay behind them has gone. A look in the loft costs nothing and tells you far more than a view from the pavement.
