Charlotte Street’s townhouses and ground-floor uses

We provide RICS compliant reinstatement cost assessments for properties across Fitzrovia, calculating the true cost of rebuilding in the event of total loss.
Properties in Fitzrovia often have construction characteristics — damp in Georgian basement areas from high water table, settlement cracking in eighteenth-century party walls, deterioration of original lime-based finishes and cornicing — that affect rebuild costs materially; during Fitzrovia RCA inspections, boundary walls across Fitzrovia and outbuildings are scheduled.
