Help when you want to make alterations to your flat...
It is the Freeholder/Freehold Companies job to protect the structural integrity of the building and the communal services from overload. This duty is usually delegated to the Freeholder's agent who is appointed to process and get a decision on proposed alterations.
Typical alterations are listed below.
Do I need a licence to alter?
If you can answer yes to any of the following questions, then getting a Licence to Alter is before you start work is required.
- Will your proposed alterations affect any face of the building (changing a window/door, putting a skylight in etc...)
- Will your proposed alterations cut through any wall?
- Will your proposed alterations remove any part of any wall (internal, external or partition wall)?
- Will your proposed alterations increase the amount of waste water/sewerage leaving the flat? (E.g. new kitchen, bathroom, toilet, show etc...)
- Will your proposed alterations involve any modification to a communal service? (eg. Removing a radiator attached to a communal heating system, re-routing a communal waste pipe.)
