Anything about what law states on properties mainly altering exterior if its a 4 block share house - 2 up 2 down??? Basically ive seen a flat in a ex council block & I think there all privately owned but the outside mortar is really horrid – it kinda puts you off if it cant be changed - it would look good with a lick of paint so do you need consent from those around you or can you do as you wish
Any help appreciated I know theres some home owners & Law geeks on here

Freehold - all the houses are now sold off ex council. Only think that makes me wonder if its not allowed is all the houses are as they were 1st built & looking rather scabby now! I dont know if this is because no ones arsed or because its not allowed!

I'll add that its a repossession and nice enough inside & I know I can fit it out and make money off it but my god its an eye sore outside!!! The girl showing around didnt know about the exterior rendering so I told her to find out and phone me

all depends if there are any maintenance agreements in place
e.g flying freehold where part of a house goes over an allyway then there is a maintenace agreement in place so that whoever owns that allyway agrees to maintain it basically

As long as the exterior structure of the buildings are un-changed then cosmetic changes are allowed Colin...

By that I mean great value & its got GCH & DG needs a kitchen bathroom and probably a rewire - I can get all that mega cheapo through my company & fit most myself!! Mates a sparky so will do rewire then i'll decorate and move in!
Nah it was empty - nothing smashed or that!!

Yeah will be the same laws pretty much across Great Britain...as long as what you want to do is in keeping with the surrounding buildings then any cosmetic work is fine..
i.e. you will prob run into problems trying to paint it flourescent green...
