Repairs and Improvements

Can I repair or make improvements within the lease limits?

In order to permit greater flexibility for leaseholders, you may, with the Trust’s permission, undertake individual works to your own flat that are strictly the responsibility of the Trust (i.e. replacing window frames, front and rear doors, etc). Permission will not be unreasonably withheld but we will need to make sure the work meets the Trust's specification and does not conflict with the overall building management or where the works will not be completed within the Trust's established timetable.

In all cases, the full cost of the work will have to be paid by you and completion, the physical structure becomes the property of the Trust for all future repairs and maintenance. There is a charge of £50.00 (plus VAT) for granting permission and for subsequent inspections.
