You need to furnish and decorate your apartment and keep it in good repair. We allow
non-structural works within the apartment but we will need to approve any works
before you start. We also need to approve the contractors you intend to use and they
will be required to submit appropriate method statements for undertaking the works in
accordance with our reasonable requirements. Our on-site team can provide a list of
pre-approved contractors and will be available to help arrange any works you wish to
carry out.
Do I have to pay a ground rent?
We do not charge any ground rent.
