Leaseholders - Making changes to your home


We aim to keep the external parts of your home and surrounding building maintained to a high standard and are responsible for improvements and changes to the structure, gardens and communal areas. 


However, as a leaseholder, maintenance and changes to the inside of your home, including repairs and decoration, is your responsibility. You can make small improvements to your home such as painting and carpeting. If however you want to make larger changes such as changing the doors, kitchens or bathrooms, you will need to request permission for this, as there may be new requirements or regulations that we need to inform you of.

To request permission to make changes to your home or to ask any questions you may have about home improvements, contact our Home Ownership department on 01403 226080 or email:
