Do I need planning permission for a Hampstead renovation?
Usually no — most internal renovations only need building regulations approval. Hampstead Conservation Area covers virtually the entire neighbourhood. Many properties are listed. If you're in a conservation area or your property is listed, listed-building consent may be needed for layout changes, sash-window replacement or chimney works. We check the specific address before quoting.
What's the typical Hampstead housing stock for refurbishments?
Georgian and Victorian houses, plus Edwardian terraces and Arts & Crafts villas on the western slopes. On this kind of housing in NW3, whole-house refurbishments most commonly involve new layout (often opening up the ground floor), full rewire, new heating, new kitchen and bathrooms, and finishes throughout. Period restoration is more common on listed properties and conservation-area frontages.
How long does a Hampstead renovation take?
Allow 4–10 weeks for design and procurement, then 6–10 weeks on site for a kitchen, 3–5 weeks for a bathroom, 4–8 months for a whole-house refurb, and 8–14 months for period restoration. LB Camden processes building control approvals in parallel with construction.
Can I live in the house during a Hampstead renovation?
Single-room or single-bathroom: usually yes. Whole-house refurb: almost always no — dust, services downtime and security make it impractical. Most Hampstead clients rent locally for 3–6 months during the works. We coordinate the programme with break clauses so you're not paying double rent at the end.
