Property types across Fitzrovia

  • Mixed-use buildings combining hospitality, retail and office functions at lower levels with residential apartments on upper floors, creating complex building management requirements.

Common Issues

Defects and challenges typical of Fitzrovia's built environment

  • Dilapidations claims on commercial property, where lease-end disputes between landlords and tenants of Georgian and Victorian premises require independent assessment.
  • Fire compartmentation deficiencies in mixed-use buildings, where changes of use over decades have compromised fire separation between commercial and residential areas.
  • Structural alterations in Georgian buildings, where removal of internal walls and insertion of new floors have altered load paths and created structural risks.
  • Damp and water ingress in older commercial buildings, particularly at flat roof junctions, parapets and basement levels.
  • Facade deterioration on Victorian commercial frontages, including failing render, defective masonry and corroded structural metalwork.
