I've breached my lease

by pcuk1979

First of all, you should not be stating or implying to anyone, least of all your landlord, that you have breached the lease. An admission of a breach saves the landlord the trouble of having to determine that a breach has occurred and has no benefit whatsoever to you.

1. Any clause that says that you have to keep floors carpeted, or can't have wooden floors.
2. Any clause that states that you need inform the freeholder, and/or get freeholder's permission, for non structural alterations.

I thought that ground floors only were allowed wooden floors.

And you're right, if I was in my buyer's shoes, I would hate the guy who sold them a flat with clearly weakened soundproofing qualities. I mean, it wasn't great anyway, but it was liveable.
