A new right introduced by the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.

The right gives basically what it says on the tin. A group of leaseholders can collectively claim the right to manage their property through what is known as an RTM (Right to Manage) company.

It is a no fault Right to Manage. The freeholder does not have to be at fault.

We can guide you through this process, from the initial decision, possibly by just a few leaseholders, to claim the right, through to the point where the property is under leaseholder management and procedures are in place for administration of the RTM company.

Successfully claiming the right to manage is not an expensive process. Usually it is not necessary to appoint solicitors or surveyors, keeping costs down

We will be able to explain these conditions in more detail and advise you as to whether your property qualifies. If the property does qualify we will then be able to develop and implement a project plan, ensuring that the statutory requirements are satisfied, with the RTM Company being set up correctly and all necessary legal notices served. We can also help you negotiate with the freeholder if there is a dispute over the right to manage – only if the dispute remains unresolved might it be necessary to instruct solicitors and consider litigation.

Finally we can offer you a minimum of three month’s after-care and work with you to set up your new management processes and contracts.
