FAQ
Am I allowed to carry out my own improvements to my home?

Only secure tenants have the right to carry out alterations or improvements to Council property, Introductory tenants do not.

 

As a Secure tenant you have the right to improve your home, as long as you get written permission from us first. You may also need Planning Permission, or Building Regulations approval.

 

Please see the section on Applying for permission to make improvements to your home for further information and advice, or to make an online application for permission to carry out improvements to your home.
