What is Right to Manage?

Take over the management of your building from your freeholder. No fault needed, nothing to buy. We guide you through the whole legal process for £9.99 per flat (launch offer).

A legal right, since 2002

Right to Manage lets leaseholders take over decisions about their building: maintenance, insurance, service charges. If enough of your neighbours join, you form an RTM company and the freeholder cannot refuse a valid claim. You don't buy the freehold and you don't need to prove bad management.

Is your building eligible?

Estates and multiple blocks

Each block claims separately. We handle buildings of every shape.

The legal tests, in plain terms

  • Your building has at least two flats
  • At least two-thirds of the flats are held by qualifying tenants (leaseholders with leases originally granted for more than 21 years, plus some other criteria)
  • Leaseholders of at least half the flats take part in the claim (both, if there are only two flats)
  • The building is at least 50% residential. No more than half of the internal floor area is commercial

Every building is different, and a few more checks can apply depending on yours. The eligibility check covers them all.

Residents are the best people to run their own building. You know the block, you know what it needs, and when everyone is coordinated on one platform, the work is genuinely manageable.

Questions, answered

Right to Manage (RTM) is a legal right that lets leaseholders take over the management of their building from the freeholder, without having to buy the freehold. You form an RTM company, serve notice on the freeholder, and from a set date your block runs its own management.
