i hope you got consent from the landlord
and didn't breach the terms of the lease

he did say he'd bought it, so i don't think he'd have had a landlord in this situation
i thought you had to be a good reader in your line of work?

^ yep, no landlord

if it's a flat, he has a landlord
you buy a long lease (usually 125 years from the date of granting, 99 and 999 are also common). then there is a freeholder/landlord above you. could be a company, could be an individual, could be a residents' association. but there will be a lease.

you pay them for service charge, ground rent, insurance for the building etc and they maintain the building and keep the tenants in line if they fail to pay or carry out amoral activities, that sort of thing...

There is a management company that's responsible for the communal areas
I'm fairly sure we can replace a windowframe without having to get it signed off by them, though

I expect your partner is able to read a lease agreement where you are clearly not capable. Ask him.

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Mon 30 Mar 2015, 12:37, closed)

and they will be employed by your landlord
your lease will tell you whether or not you need consent to replace a window. esp an exterior frame as usually they want them to match others in the building.

Am I allowed to take out a non-load bearing stud wall in my flat to run two rooms together?

( Pig Bodine., Mon 30 Mar 2015, 13:27, closed)

only load bearing walls are encouraged
especially if the neighbour above is in the bath at the time
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 30 Mar 2015, 13:39, closed)

There's a purlin in place for the room and it's a duplex so we're the only people above.
If I happen to have already removed the wall, do I need to notify anyone and/or do I need to put it back in before I sell it again?
( Pig Bodine., Mon 30 Mar 2015, 13:44, closed)

it depends what your lease says
if it says no alterations without consent, you might choose to take a view - but when you come to sell, the buyer might ask to see a licence for alterations, so it could mean a small price chip if you don't have one.
