The consent route
Who must approve the works, what the lease requires and whether the managing agent has issued a formal alterations process.
Leasehold and managed-property projects
Before the works are committed, establish what the licence to alter process actually requires.
A landlord’s consent route can affect the design, professional team, contractor information, deposits and start date. Planning permission does not replace it.
Completely free. No card details required.No obligation. Immediate preliminary result.
One specialist pathway
Licence to alter sits inside Start-Ready, not beside it.
The free check should identify whether a freeholder, landlord or managing-agent approval may affect the commitment. The £395 Decision Pack can then take the licence as the priority issue, interpret the assessment position and set out the immediate route. Where the actual licence or supporting project evidence needs professional review, use the £950 Resolution Plan.
A separate licence-to-alter resource is useful as a targeted entry point. A separate product would fragment the client record and understate the connected planning, technical, neighbour and contractor issues.
What the pathway examines
Five questions before the programme becomes an assumption.
The submission package
Drawings, specifications, structural information, method statements, insurance and professional appointments required for review.
The connected consents
Planning, listed building, Building Control, Party Wall and access matters that remain separate from the licence.
The conditions and costs
Undertakings, deposits, professional fees, inspection rights, working-hour restrictions and reinstatement obligations.
The programme reality
What may be designed or tendered now, what cannot responsibly start, and which approval dependencies control the date.
Free diagnosis
Identify whether the licence route could affect the proposed commitment.
Self-reported position, useful questions and the normal professional owners.
£395 Decision Pack
