Property?

• In case you are in possession of a leasehold
  property, your ownership is subjected only for a
  certain period of time. 

• The contract between you and the property owner
  is fixed at the time of leasing the property
  itself and one cannot have possession of the
  property for more than that period.

• In most cases, the permission for alterations are
  not given to them by the actual owners. As it
  involves a risk of damaging the property or
  blending it in a way which the owners do not find
  quite feasible

• Can it be not done under any circumstances? We
  shall discuss it.

Ground rules that must be followed

• What are the ground rules that must be followed
  if a leaseholder wants to make Structural
  alterations in a leasehold property?

• A leaseholder should be very clear regarding all
  the terms and conditions mentioned in the legal
  agreement, breaking which can drag them into
  legal troubles too!

• Sometimes, the need for changing something on the
  property or in case of any damaged part, the need
  for Structural alterations become a necessity for
  the leaseholders.

• The alterations in structure can be made but only
  after fulfilling certain criteria.

What do the leaseholders get in return?

• By no means, can the landlord retain the
  permission of the alteration when the work has
  started or the structural alterations have
  already started!

• When the landlord gives consent for the
  alteration works, he cannot withhold it anymore.

• In some cases, the leaseholders need to pay a
  handsome amount of fees to the landlords.

• In situations like these, the leaseholders
  acquire more power to make the Alteration works
  go on without any obstruction. 

• If still the landlords create any issue the
  leaseholders have all the right to seek legal
  action against them.
