Decoration and Repair of Maisonettes 

We recommend all purchasers of properties to ensure that the decoration obligations contained in the headlease have been adhered to. These are the responsibility of individual property owners. Under the terms of the lease external decoration is required to be carried out every three years and internal every seven years. The external decoration obligation includes rainwater goods such as gutters and downspouting, and all woodwork at eaves level, and on the gable ends of buildings where applicable. Equally, individual owners are responsible for the repair of such items.

Before alterations, structural or external changes are made to properties we urge property owners to consult their lease and, if necessary, obtain legal advice.  Tenants should refer the matter to their Landlord.
