Consent for Alterations

If your lease or rent charge deed states that our consent is required for alterations, you must obtain our written consent before starting any work.

If the alterations have already been completed, retrospective consent will be required.

For all alteration consent applications, we will require confirmation that:

• We will be fully indemnified against all third-party claims.
• Planning permission has either been obtained or is not required.
• Building Regulations approval has either been obtained or is not required.

Our fee will vary depending on the nature and scope of the alterations.

For guidance only, consent for the addition of an average-sized conservatory would normally cost:

• £200 for prospective consent
• £400 for retrospective consent

VAT is not applicable to these fees.

To request a quotation, please email us and include a copy of the plans for the proposed or completed alteration.
