Alterations

Do I need the landlord’s permission to make alterations?

Some alterations do not require permission — for example, internal redecoration, minor plumbing and electrical works, like-for-like kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and new interior doors. Any other alterations or additions generally require the landlord’s prior consent. If works have already been carried out without consent, you should apply for retrospective permission. Please refer to our Alterations and Permissions Factsheet and Form on this website.
