As a homeowner or shared owner, you will need written permission for significant changes to your property.
If you make any alterations or modifications to your home without getting permission, you may be required to change it back to its original condition at your own expense.
To request permission, or for more advice, please give details to our Home Ownership Team. They will review your request and respond accordingly.
Contact the Home Ownership team at homeownershipenquiries@mtvh.co.uk or phone 020 3535 3535 or 0300 456 2929.
Here are some examples of what you do - and don't - need to seek permission for:
|
Permission required |
Permission not required |
|
Extensions |
Hanging pictures |

Moving walls |
Installing blinds and curtains |
|
Loft conversion |

* Not recommended for properties in the defect liability period. Refer to your Home User Guide for more information.
Asking permission is especially important during the defects period as, at the end of this, the contractor who built your home will need to attend to carry out your end of defect inspection. If significant changes/alterations have been made without permission, this may void the actual defect warranty.
