A neighbourhood of flats, done properly

South Hampstead is, to a large degree, a neighbourhood of flats. Its grand Victorian villas on Fairhazel, Compayne and the other ‘Gardens’ roads were long ago divided into period conversion flats, and its red-brick mansion blocks add another layer of leasehold homes — characterful stock, but full of the quirks that subdivision and shared ownership leave behind.

Those quirks are practical and legal: shared soil stacks and risers, party-floor sound transfer to the flat below, lease conditions on what you can alter, and freeholder consent for anything structural or to the services. Most flats here are leasehold, so the consents are as much a part of the job as the build — a refurbishment that ignores them stalls.

We plan the work around the lease and the building, secure the freeholder and Camden consents, and deliver the design, services and finishes under one contract — with the care a South Hampstead address deserves and honest budgets in pounds sterling.

What shapes a South Hampstead flat refurbishment

A South Hampstead flat sits inside a shared, leasehold building — lease, neighbours and services shape the work.

01

Leasehold consent

Most flats are leasehold, so structural and service changes need freeholder consent; we secure it first.

02

Shared services

Conversion and mansion flats share stacks and risers, so plumbing and drainage must respect the building.

03

Sound to neighbours

Party-floor sound transfer is a common complaint; we improve acoustic separation as part of the work.

04

Camden & conservation

Within the conservation area, even some internal-feeling works engage Camden planning; we check first.

Questions clients ask before they start

Do I need freeholder consent to refurbish my flat?

For structural changes and alterations to services, almost always — South Hampstead flats are mostly leasehold and the lease requires it. We identify what is needed and secure it before work begins.

Can you reduce noise from the flat above?

Yes — party-floor sound transfer is a common issue in conversion flats, and we improve acoustic separation as part of the refurbishment rather than leaving it.

Does Camden planning apply to a flat?

It can — within the South Hampstead Conservation Area some changes engage Camden planning, and listed-building consent applies if the building is listed. We confirm before starting.

Will shared pipework limit what I can do?

It shapes the plan rather than blocks it. We design the plumbing and drainage around the building’s shared stacks and risers so it works reliably.

How much does a flat refurbishment cost?

It depends on the size, the services and the finish. We give an honest budget band in pounds sterling (GBP) after seeing the flat and the lease.
