What are Alterations?
Alterations refer to modifications made to an existing property, aimed at changing its purpose or appearance. In essence, they encompass a range of work intended to update, enhance, or improve the functionality of a building.
​
Examples of alterations include complete or partial changes in usage, such as removing internal walls, or making internal extensions to living spaces. This process allows for various configurations of spaces, whether connecting different areas or creating distinct, separate rooms.
​
Ultimately, alterations are about transforming your home into a more attractive and functional space. Sometimes it can be hard to picture how things might look when adding or removing internal walls or structures, and at Northern Trade Solutions Limited, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring your vision becomes a reality.
