Hampstead has been a conservation area since January 1968.
Its houses climb the hill, Georgian and Victorian, many of them listed.
The neighbourhood plan, adopted in July 2025, prefers refurbishment to demolition.
It backs careful energy upgrades, listed buildings included, without losing historic fabric.
We record the house first. Then we design, price and build it.
