Leasehold apartments and conversions scoped for freeholder rules, kitchens, bathrooms and services. Period fabric around Borough often means layered alterations, solid walls and services that have been changed over decades — phased strip-out, services, wet rooms and occupation must be read from the unit, not from the neighbourhood name. The Borough record headed “Property character” belongs in the flat renovation brief where it intersects phased strip-out, services, wet rooms and occupation. Neighbourhood character recorded for Borough: Victorian terraces and modern apartments around Borough Market and Southwark Cathedral. Historic market quarter with a distinctive residential character south of London Bridge. We confirm fit, availability and written terms before any visit — Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance, never a marketplace.
