Our Process

All Applications are considered on their own merit and strictly in accordance with the specific requirements of the property lease.

We will only consider the requirements of our client when processing an Application.  Any other permissions and consents must be sought from the relevant third party.

Where Consent is granted, this will always be in writing.  The form of document will be determined by the nature and extent of the Application.

Consent for complex and/or structural work may require an on-site inspection from an independent surveyor and will require our solicitor to draft a Licence.
