Licences to Alter
With extensive property and building surveying experience, Dartmouth Group can undertake Licence to Alter surveys and provide professional advice on behalf of residential, commercial and industrial clients.
Our Chartered Building Surveyors can review proposed alterations, assess their potential impact on the property and help ensure works are properly documented before they commence.
Licence to Alter Advice
A Licence to Alter is often required where a tenant or leaseholder wishes to make alterations to a property. This allows the landlord or freeholder to review the proposed works and ensure they will not adversely affect the building, neighbouring properties or the terms of the lease.
Our team provides clear, practical advice to help landlords, tenants and their professional advisers navigate the process efficiently.
Surveys and Documentation
We can undertake a full site survey and review the proposed alterations, including relevant drawings, specifications and planning requirements. Where appropriate, we can also advise on building regulations, structural considerations and the reinstatement of alterations at the end of a lease.
Our services can include:
- Site inspections and building surveys
- Review of proposed alterations
- Assessment of drawings and specifications
- Planning and building regulation considerations
- Schedules of condition
- Advice on reinstatement requirements
- Monitoring works during construction
- Final inspections following completion
Protecting the Property
Alterations can have long-term implications for a building if they are not properly considered or documented. Our experienced surveyors provide independent professional advice throughout the Licence to Alter process, helping protect the interests of the property owner while allowing approved works to progress effectively.
