Block Management in Camden
17 October 2026
Camden stretches from the Georgian squares of Bloomsbury to the hilltop streets of Hampstead. Large Victorian houses in Belsize Park, West Hampstead and Kentish Town have been converted into flats, Bloomsbury and Hampstead have characterful mansion blocks, and King's Cross has been transformed into a new neighbourhood of apartment buildings around Granary Square and the canal. Westbridge Block Management looks after residential blocks across Camden, combining full block management with years of construction and renovation experience.
The Camden buildings we look after
- Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into flats, often with basement and garden flats
- Mansion blocks in Bloomsbury, Hampstead and Belsize Park
- Listed buildings and buildings in Camden's many conservation areas
- Modern apartment buildings at King's Cross and around Camden Town
Conversions with character
Converted houses bring their own questions: shared roofs and chimneys, basement damp, rear extensions, garden boundaries and who repairs what under each lease. We read the leases, set clear responsibilities, diagnose problems properly and plan repairs that suit the building. Where works are needed in a conservation area or on a listed building, we keep the consents process on track with the council.
What you get
- A named property manager and scheduled site inspections, with reports and photos
- Repairs diagnosed properly and carried out by the right independent contractor, commission-free
- Quotes checked against what the work should really cost, and work inspected before it is paid for
- Fire safety, health and safety and building safety compliance tracked to completion
- Transparent budgets, service charge accounts and protected client funds
- Resident issue tracking and an annual satisfaction survey
Whether your building is a converted house in Kentish Town or a mansion block in Bloomsbury, we will start with a free building review and a clear condition report, then send you a fixed-fee management proposal.
Towers and large developments in Camden
King's Cross and the south of the borough have a number of taller residential buildings and large mixed-use developments. Buildings of this size call for more than a visiting property manager, so we arrange dedicated on-site management where the development needs it, backed by our construction expertise.
- Building Safety Act duties for higher-risk buildings (18 metres or seven storeys and above), including registration, the safety case and the golden thread
- High-rise fire safety duties: secure information boxes, wayfinding signage and monthly firefighting lift and equipment checks
- Lifts, plant, communal heating and ventilation maintained to a planned schedule
- Multi-block estates with several service charge schedules, apportioned transparently

Frequently asked questions
Who repairs what in a converted house?
It depends on each lease. We review the leases at the start, set out clearly which parts are the responsibility of the company or freeholder and which belong to each flat, and plan repairs accordingly.
Do you manage buildings at King's Cross?
Yes. We look after modern apartment buildings with sophisticated plant and amenities, and support Accountable Persons where the higher-risk building regime applies.
Can you help with basement damp in a conversion?
Yes. We investigate the cause properly, whether drainage, ground levels or defects in the structure, and arrange the right independent specialist for the repair.
