Licences & Alterations
Can I make alterations to my property?
Most Leases and Transfers include restrictive covenants prohibiting alterations to either the plan or the elevations of the property without the prior written consent of the managing agent.
Such alterations will include replacing windows, the removal of internal walls, installing external lights or the construction of an extension. The purpose of these covenants is to maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic appearance of the building and to adhere to other restrictions.
All property owners wishing to make an alteration should apply in writing to Consort Property Management, including appropriate plans and specifications relating to the work intended.
An administration charge is made to cover the processing and inspection of such applications. During their regular visits to your development, if our Property Managers find that alterations have taken place without the landlord's consent, they are obliged to take appropriate action, which may include ensuring that the property is returned to its original condition at the owner’s expense.
