Do I need to tell the freeholder about Central Heating Installation?

Okay, I've finally bought and got my keys for my flat. I'm currently stripping off the 7 layers of wallpaper and getting the place ready for Gas Central Heating to be installed.
The Flat already has Gas present (Gas Heaters). However I am having a full sytem fitted (combi boiler and radiators). Now the Combi boiler will go on a wall with a vent sticking out the external wall.
Do I need to let the freeholder know this? I own the flat (internal walls up to brick work).

I agree - check your lease. It probably has all sorts of wierd things in there!
You probably need to let them know, but I'm sure they'll be happy for it to go ahead as it is an improvement to the property. BTW - leasehold is actually just a long lease - you only own the rights under that lease - you don't actually own any part of the property at all :eek:
