It’s important that you obtain our permission before you carry out any work - obtaining our consent is an important condition under the terms of your lease. You may also need to provide us with a copy of the estimates for the works.
If you intend to make structural changes or changes to the layout, we'll also need to see detailed plans along with building or planning regulation approvals before consent can be given for the work to start. A Licence for Alterations will also need to be drawn up which provides you with formal consent to the proposed major works.
If you don't get our consent or obtain the necessary licence, you'll be breaking the conditions of your lease and could risk losing your home. Some minor alterations to your property are considered as repairs and maintenance rather than home improvements.
