Can I replace the windows in a leasehold flat?

Question

I need to know if I can have new windows installed in a leasehold flat. If I’m willing to pay myself then does it matter?

Gary · Answer

You possibly would be able to, but will need to check with your council to see if you require planning consent for this.

Hi yes, you can personally get someone to install the windows if it's okay with your landlord just make sure they are FENSA approved installers however if your windows have issues such condensation and damp you should contact your landlord and they are legally bound to repair them if not you can get a snagging offer to come round and go from there. Hope this helps :)

You will have to ask the leaseholder first, even if you are paying for them.

James · Answer

Yes you can but just inform the landlord that you wish to do so, some may even help with cost or discount rent

Barry · Answer

Yes you can change the windows as long has it’s like for like.

Mark · Answer

Yes that should be fine but I would check with the powers that be just to be sure. So long as you change it with a product that meets all the certifications, standards and laws I think that would be fine.

Hi,
I suggest you speak to the leaseholder they should give you permission seeing as your going to pay for them.

Wayne · Answer

Confirm with your lease and confirm to any regs involved 
Should be plan sailing to get it arranged and done

Darren · Answer

If it’s ok with the owner yes, I’d see if the owner will put some money towards as well if not pay for them all.
