- undertaking any internal or external alterations
Please note we will not allow any alterations which will affect the internal layout or structure of your home without specific permission and necessary local authority Building Control consents.
If you decide to move out of your property you may be required to return it to its original condition prior to any alterations being carried out. If you don't, you may be liable for the cost of returning the property to its original condition.
You may also have the right to a compensatory payment for any alterations or improvements you have carried out to your property. Please contact the Association to find out if the work you have carried out is a “qualifying improvement”. Compensation can only be paid at the end of the tenancy, when the house is vacated by all qualifying tenants.
