what is a
Licence to alter
Leaseholders must obtain a Licence to Alter before modifying their property, depending on the proposed works. This allows freeholders to protect themselves against potential losses and ensure the works won’t adversely affect other residents in the building.
In most cases, freeholders should consent to the proposed alterations provided the leaseholder agrees to reasonable terms. Obtaining a Licence to Alter can often be a drawn-out and complicated process, but you can trust our team to make it as straightforward as possible.
Examples of works that require a Licence to Alter: Structural alterations, sanitary facility installations, new heating installations, wall removals and modifications, window replacements, new opening formations.
