Any exterior structural works on a freehold house require the formal written consent of the directors following the advice of their Surveyor if appropriate. Leasehold flats works that require permission need to obtain a licence which will be prepared by the freeholder’s Solicitors, the cost of which will be the responsibility of the leaseholder.

At first instance, plans and specifications for the proposed works must be submitted to Wallakers for approval with an undertaking to pay their reasonable fees.

Further guidance on property works is attached below:

Work in flats and houses should be carried out with minimum disruption to other residents. We request that, as a courtesy, neighbours are advised of the start date and likely duration of the building works.

Disposal of building rubble, items removed from flats and houses etc is the responsibility of the owner and such rubbish must not under any circumstances be placed in or near dustbins or storage bins neither must it be stored in the underground garages of the flats.

Any damage to Common Parts will be charged to the owner responsible. Contractors’ vehicles must not be parked within the grounds of St James Park but can be parked during the day (09:00 to 17:30) on driveways. To avoid damage to pavements vehicles should not be parked wholly or partially thereon.
