How much does property refurbishment in Central London cost?

There is no single price — it depends on whether it is a flat or a house, the size, the specification and the approvals involved. The bands below are a realistic guide; your figure is confirmed in writing after survey and design.

Project type
Typical scope
Light refurbishment
Decoration, flooring, lighting and a kitchen or bathroom refresh — cosmetic improvement without major change.
Full flat refurbishment
Strip-out, full M&E, kitchen, bathrooms, joinery and acoustic works within a leasehold flat.
Full house refurbishment
Whole-house strip-out, structural openings, services, kitchens, bathrooms and joinery across every floor.
Luxury apartment renovation
Lateral or mansion-flat schemes with bespoke joinery, stone, lighting and smart-home integration.
Townhouse refurbishment
Period townhouse works with basements, extensions, heritage repair and party wall coordination.
Listed / conservation-sensitive
Heritage-led repair and reproduction under listed building consent and conservation control.

per m² (GBP)
High-end
£800–£1,200
per m² (GBP)
Premium
£1,300–£1,800

Prime Central London property we have refurbished

Proven across both apartments and houses. A selection of completed prime-London projects — each with a full case study.

The building stock of prime Central London

From estate-managed townhouses to portered mansion blocks, Central London's residential fabric is among the most controlled in the country.

Prime Central London is built around its landed estates and garden squares. The Grosvenor Estate runs much of Mayfair and Belgravia; the Howard de Walden and Portman estates hold Marylebone; the Bedford Estate shapes Bloomsbury; and the Crown Estate sits around St James's and Regent Street. Their townhouses, mews and mansion flats — from Eaton Square and Cadogan Square to Albert Hall Mansions — are overwhelmingly listed or within conservation areas, governed by Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea or Camden.

That mix is why a single contractor who understands both leasehold flats (freeholder consent, Licence to Alter, acoustics) and period houses (planning, listed building consent, party wall, basements) is so valuable here. Whether your property is a lateral apartment or a Georgian townhouse, the approvals and the craft are what separate a smooth project from a stalled one.

Questions clients ask before they start

Are you a refurbishment company that covers all of Central London?

Yes. Hampstead Renovations is a property refurbishment and renovation company working across Central London — Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Westminster, Victoria, Soho, Covent Garden, Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Bloomsbury, Pimlico, St James's, Bayswater, Paddington and Holborn. We refurbish flats, apartments, townhouses, mews houses, period and listed homes and investment properties.

Do you refurbish both flats and houses?

Yes — both. For apartments, mansion blocks and leasehold flats, see our specialist flat & apartment refurbishment in Central London page. For townhouses, mews and period or listed houses, see our house refurbishment in Central London page. This page is the umbrella overview of the whole service.

What size of project do you take on?

From focused kitchen and bathroom projects of roughly £50k–£200k through to full apartment refurbishments, whole-house renovations and complex schemes with basements, structural works and listed-building consent. We will tell you honestly at the first meeting whether we are the right fit for your project.

Do you handle approvals like Licence to Alter and planning?

Yes. We coordinate Licence to Alter and freeholder consent for leasehold flats, and planning permission, listed building consent, conservation and party wall matters for houses — alongside Building Control, structural calculations and acoustic and fire compliance, all as part of the contract.

Can you handle design and construction under one contract?

Yes. Architects, engineers, surveyors and builders work under one roof, so design, approvals and build sit in a single contract with one point of responsibility — you are not coordinating separate consultants and a separate contractor.

How much does refurbishment in Central London cost?

As a guide, prime Central London refurbishment runs from around £500/m² at standard specification to £1,900–£2,400+/m² at super-prime, depending on whether it is a flat or house, the specification and the approvals involved. We confirm a fixed price after survey and design — see the cost section above.

Where are you based and where do you work?

Our design studio is in Hampstead (250 Finchley Road, NW3), with Central London consultations by appointment at 2 Eaton Gate, SW1, just off Sloane Square. We work across prime North, Central and West London.

What insurance and process do you carry?

We carry £10M insurance and work to JCT-based contracts with staged valuations, a documented programme and a two-stage snagging and handover process — the structure prime clients, freeholders and managing agents expect.
