Camden's property ranges from the grand Georgian terraces of Bloomsbury and Fitzrovia to Victorian streets in Kentish Town, red-brick mansion blocks across Belsize Park and post-war social housing estates. Each building type presents distinct survey challenges, from hidden timber decay in period basements to concrete spalling on 1960s tower blocks.
