How we process your application

Your estate manager will either let you know in writing if we’ve agreed in principle to the improvements or arrange for a visit by one of our surveyors.

We aim to make an initial decision and give you the advice to proceed within 10 days of receiving your application.

If we don’t agree to an improvement, we will tell you why. If you go ahead with the works without permission you may have to reinstate your property to its original condition or we may charge you if we have to do it ourselves.

Will my rent go up?

Your rent won’t increase as a result of any improvements you make to your home, while you or anyone who succeeds you lives there.

What if I move?

If you make improvements to your home and then end your tenancy or move, you may be entitled to compensation or you may be expected to reinstate your property to its original condition.
