Would you ask freeholders permission if you were me?
I have a top floor flat and urgently need a new boiler as its broke down and the tenants are getting a bit grumpy.
I’ve arranged this to be done but they need to erect scaffolding to access the flue as the building is quite high.
My question is do I need the freeholders or the management companies permission to erect scaffolding for 1-2 days? I would normally just ask but I’m in a hurry and knowing what my freeholder is like they will take ages to get back to me and then they will do all they can to claim the shirt of my back in fees for giving permission!!
Should I just go ahead and hope no one finds out or is there a better way round this?
Thanks
Rob
