Camden
Short-term property finance for Camden, Hampstead, Bloomsbury and Primrose Hill — from period refurbishments to commercial repositioning, structured to complete in days.
Local Market
Camden and the wider NW1/NW3 corridor
Within one borough Camden holds the prime houses of Hampstead and Primrose Hill, the busy mixed-use streets of Camden Town, the institutional and student market around Bloomsbury and the commercial regeneration at King’s Cross and Euston. It makes for a varied week of enquiries.
From Hampstead Village to Kentish Town
Values range widely. Houses in Hampstead Village regularly sell for more than £5m, while on the Camden side of Tufnell Park, towards Holloway, stock trades in the £500k–£800k range. A prime refurbishment funded at 65% LTV and a higher-leverage value-add project in Kentish Town can both be on our desk in the same week.
Forty conservation areas
Camden has 40 designated conservation areas, and a good share of its housing is listed. Listed-building works take the time they take, so the lender has to accept a realistic programme and a finished standard that a term lender will refinance before the bridge runs out.
King’s Cross, Euston and Camden Lock
Commercial deals gather around King’s Cross, Euston, Holborn and the Camden Lock area. HS2 works at Euston have opened near-term buying opportunities for investors willing to underwrite the longer view. Office-to-resi conversions under permitted development continue across the borough, within the limits Camden’s Article 4 directions set.
For deals over the border, our Islington and Hackney pages pick up the story, and the London page covers the rest of the capital.

The Camden deals we arrange
Camden bridging is business-purpose lending to investors, landlords and property companies, from £200k. With the borough average above £800k, many cases are a single building: a period house bought for refurbishment or conversion into flats, a mixed-use parade in Camden Town or Kentish Town, a licensed HMO near the universities, or a refinance while a term lender catches up with finished works. We do not lend on a home that you or your family live in.
