Home improvements

We are happy for you to improve your home, but please ask us first before you start any work. We will normally agree, but if we say no, we’ll give you the reason in writing.

You don’t need our permission to decorate your home with wallpaper or paint.

Don’t forget you may need planning permission to make certain improvements.You can get advice about planning and building control by contacting Tower Hamlets Council.

You may be entitled to be reimbursed for some types of home improvement when you move out. We can give you a list of what kinds of improvements these are. The amount paid is based on the original cost of the improvement and how long it has been in use.Please contact us for more information.
