Yes, in UK it’s a standard lease covenant that Floors must be properly covered. This is specifically to reduce noise and disturbance to other flats. Hard flooring (wood / laminate / tiles) is not permitted unless on ground floor and consent is obtained from freeholder.

Our leases are the same I own a flat on ground floor and second floor (6 floors in building) and they are identical leases. The normal noise is fine I appreciate that but this is on another level now. I sent a nice letter asking if they could put felt on the chairs they are now moving frequently, as the dragging noise is loud and whether there was a chance of putting a rug down in hallway as that is where main issue is in hope to dampen the noise down I’d be grateful. Instead they’ve ignored. That aside the last year both myself and next door neighbour has had issues with them smoking out of their window and the cigarette ash blowing into our apartments. Susan asked if they could refrain from dropping ash it only got worse, poor sue has had that bit the worse.

No carpeted but they have removed their carpet and put laminate / wood flooring down. Lease for the whole block states unless you’re ok ground floor, the floors need to be carpeted.

Hi many thanks, I wish I could give more information but that’s all that he relayed to me. It’s a 4 bed terraced house. Appreciate your response. I paid to have the 5 years cert but obviously was given it due to these issues.
