What happens after the request for alterations form has been reviewed by HomeGround?

Residential Leases

Once we have reviewed your request for alterations form, we will contact you to confirm whether:

  1. The landlord agrees in principle with the proposed alterations and will give you a licence to alter;
  2. The landlord will give you a Letter Licence or a Licence Deed (for further details see FAQ What is the difference between a Letter Licence and a Licence Deed?);
  3. A management company and/or superior landlord also needs to give consent (for further details see FAQ Will I need to get consent from anybody else?);
  4. Further documents are needed in order to give you the licence to alter;
  5. There are estimated costs for giving you the licence to alter;
  6. Any premium is applicable;
  7. The landlord is unable to give consent to the alterations and why – no further sums will be due and we will be unable to proceed with your application;
  8. The landlord’s consent is not required for the proposed alterations (please note that the initial assessment fee is non-refundable).
