The Metropolitan Police said the body was found following a search of the property in New Addington, Croydon, earlier.
The 12-year-old has been missing since last Friday.
Police are seeking Stuart Hazell, 37, the partner of Tia's grandmother Christine Sharp, and have asked people not to approach him.
Members of the public have been asked to call 999 if they see Mr Hazell.
No arrests have been made.
The body is yet to be identified but Tia's family has been informed.
Officers had cordoned off the area around the property at about noon to carry out a forensic search and the Met had said the search could take up to two days.
Earlier, officers with a police dog spent about 30 minutes in the house.
