Full refurbishment of Kentish Town houses and conversions
Subdivided Victorian houses in Kentish Town often carry several generations of partitions, bathrooms and wiring behind one front door. A full refurbishment therefore starts with tenure and building form, not with a finish schedule. Whole-house, converted-flat and licensed shared-house briefs are different projects. We record party walls, party floors, stacks and fire separation before strip-out. Sound original joinery is kept where it still works.
Who can consent in Kentish Town follows from how the building is held. A freehold house answers to planning and Building Regulations; a flat adds a licence to alter; a shared house can add licensing standards. Camden’s two appraisals and the neighbourhood plan may inform an application, but they do not replace it. The Party Wall etc. Act runs through almost every terrace plan. Each route is confirmed for the exact address.
Strip-out in a converted house travels through a stair other households still use. Protection, working hours and waste routes are agreed before the first skip arrives. Camden licences cover highway skips and scaffold. Records are kept by demise, so a freeholder can see what changed in the shared parts and what stayed inside one flat. Dusty rooms are sealed from occupied neighbours.
Send the tenure papers, photographs of each floor and any planning or licensing history for the Kentish Town house. Rank rooms and say whether anyone will live in the building during the work. Hampstead Renovations writes investigation, consents, services and finishes into one written scope. The refurbishment is delivered in-house, with a completion file organised by demise.
