Leaseholders & shared owners

In general, you are responsible for the repair and maintenance of anything inside your property. Your lease sets out what is our responsibility and what is yours.

If you need to request a repair relating to the exterior of your home or a communal area, please contact our Customer Service team, who will be more than happy to book an appointment for you.

You can contact them either by email on repairs@wcht.org.uk or by calling 0800 2182247.
 

If you’re looking to make any changes to your home, other than basic cosmetic improvements, please make sure that you’ve received our permission.

You can request permission by completing the form below and sending this for the attention of our Customer Relations department, either by email to customerrelationsteam@wcht.org.uk or by post.
