  • Mixed sites. Where houses and flats share an estate, fair cost sharing matters. Your lease or transfer sets out who pays for what.
  • Article 4 directions. Check before changing windows, doors or boundaries.
  • Letting your flat. Your lease may need the landlord’s or company’s consent first.

Every building is different. Book a call back and we’ll talk you through what matters for yours.
