Once you buy through shared ownership, you’re on the property ladder. To live as you please. You can decorate how you like and make space for your pooch or kitty (not obligatory, but you can if you want in most cases).
You are free to paint walls and apply wallpaper to make your home feel like your own. Be sure to choose colours and patterns that you love.
You can replace carpets with hardwood flooring or other types of flooring. Be mindful of the noise impact on your neighbours, especially if you live in an apartment building. Installing suitable underlay can help reduce noise.
You can install new light fixtures, curtains, and blinds to suit your style. Ensure that any electrical work is carried out by a certified electrician to meet safety standards. If you’re not sure if a certain fixture is ok to fit, just contact the team and we’ll be happy to help!
For significant changes like removing walls or installing new plumbing, you'll need permission for this from your housing officer, let us know if you need their details! These alterations can impact the structure of the building and must be approved in advance.
If your property includes a garden, feel free to personalise it with plants, garden furniture, or even a small garden shed. You can check with your housing officer if any planning guidelines or approvals are required for your outdoor decorations and structures.
We have some great garden inspiration on our blog, if you aren’t sure where to start.
If you're unsure whether a change requires permission, it's best to consult us. We can provide guidance and ensure that your decorations comply with the lease terms. Our home ownership teams can be reached here- Shared Ownership | Existing Customers | Aster Group.
