Licence for alterations (minor works)
This standard document is a licence for alterations specifically tailored for tenants wishing to undertake minor, non-structural works within leased properties. This document is supplemental to the existing lease and requires the landlord's consent for the tenant to proceed with the works. It includes detailed provisions on the interpretation of terms, consent conditions, and obligations for carrying out and completing the works. The tenant must obtain all necessary consents and adhere to quality standards, while the landlord retains the right to review and approve the completed works. The document also addresses compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2025), insurance obligations, and potential reinstatement requirements at the end of the lease term. It excludes liability for misrepresentations and outlines the payment of costs associated with the licence. This document will help safeguard the interests of both landlords and tenants in property alterations.
