Whether you've newly acquired a property, or whether
you've owned your home for some time, embarking on a renovation
project can be daunting. Not only will you be faced with decisions
to make as to how you want the finished project to look, you should
also be aiming to manage your project in such a way so as to ensure
that the works increase the value of your property, rather than
diminish it.
We understand how much there is to think about at the start of a
project and so we've highlighted in this piece some key points
that we recommend you consider.
1. Third party approvals or consents? Do you own the freehold of
your property, or is your property leasehold? If the latter, you
should review the terms of your lease so that you can liaise with
your landlord well in advance of works commencement to obtain their
consent (where this is needed) and address any specific
requirements they may expect you to comply with during the
project.
