Summary
Permissions, reversibility and portability — what renters and leaseholders should establish before ordering a kit.
What you will learn
- Who you need permission from
- Why reversibility matters
- What to ask a landlord or freeholder
Permission comes first
Renters normally need the landlord's written consent, and leaseholders may also need the freeholder or managing agent to agree. Building-level rules can restrict anything fixed to a balcony, railing or external wall.
Get consent in writing, describing the exact product and mounting method, before you order.
Favour reversible setups
A free-standing ground-mounted kit that leaves no permanent fixings is usually easier to agree, and easier to take with you when you move.
Registration and notification steps still apply after connection, and are tied to the property's electricity supply.
