Property types in Holborn

The neutral housing-stock context used for Holborn is period and converted flats. Individual properties can vary considerably: some may retain earlier fabric while others have been altered or rebuilt. A mansion-block flat may combine private internal fabric with managed common parts, but the boundary differs by title and building. Useful checks include the lease or building handbook, service routes, communal protection, fire-safety interfaces and any stated working rules. None of those conditions should be inferred from the neighbourhood label. We review retained details, modern installations and any specialist requirements for the individual property before accepting the work.
