Absolutely! It’s a common Shared Ownership myth that you can’t make changes to your home, but you can personalise your new property in a variety of ways including:
- Furniture to fit your unique aesthetic
- New wallpaper to brighten up your rooms
- Painted walls to make a statement
The only instance in which you’d need to obtain permission from your property manager (such as Legal & General Affordable Homes) is if your home improvements affect the structure of the house. This includes fitting a new kitchen or bathroom.
