'Right to Manage' guidance and support

The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 gave leaseholders the statutory right to take over responsibility for the management of their properties from their landlord.  Essentially, in order to achieve this, the majority of leaseholders in a block of flats have to set up a ‘Right To Manage’ (“RTM”) Management Company and serve appropriate Notice on the landlord of their intentions.

Although the process itself is not unduly complicated, it does need to be properly understood, particularly by those individuals intending to act as directors of the RTM company, and there are certain technical pitfalls that need to be avoided if one is to succeed.

Kingsdale have successfully worked with groups of leaseholders and guided them through the RTM procedure to a successful determination of their claim.  We have now been appointed by over 10 RTM companies to be their new managing agents and have considerable experience in the all-important handover of management responsibilities.

Kingsdale can offer you guidance or professional support at whatever stage of the RTM process you are at.  We are happy just to answer initial general enquiries or to provide you with more detailed information or guidance as necessary.

Please contact us if you would like us to visit your development and talk to a Residents’ Committee or make a presentation to all owners.  We can also refer you to specialists in this field.
