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.
The licence-to-alter guide gives you a focused route into this issue while keeping it connected to the wider project record, including planning, technical, neighbour and contractor matters.
What the pathway examines
Five questions before the programme becomes an assumption.
The submission package

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.
