Alterations & Compensation
Alterations
You can make improvements or alterations to your home, however, you must first get out written permission to do so.
Examples of alterations may include:
- altering, improving or enlarging the house, fittings or fixtures;
- adding new fixtures or fittings (for example, kitchen and bathroom installations, central heating, laminate flooring, satellite dish);
- putting up a garage, shed or other structure.
To make an alteration request, please complete the Alteration & Improvements form within our Customer Portal. The form can be found by navigating to the Occupancy tab on the left-hand menu and selecting the blue E-Forms button on the far right side. You can find a guide on how to complete the form here on our YouTube channel.
Compensation for Improvements
You have the right to compensation at the end of your tenancy for certain types of improvements that you have made to your home with the permission of the Association.
Tenants will not be eligible for compensation if we have had to repossess the property.
Full details of the Right To Compensation Regulations can be found on the Scottish Government website.
