Right to Manage

If you’re part of a group of Leaseholders who want to take control of the management of your property, you may be able to set up a Right to Manage company.

What is Right to

Manage?

The Right to Manage (RTM) was introduced as part of the Commonhold and Leasehold reform act 2022. It gives Leaseholders control of the management of their property, without having to seek permissions from the Landlord.

The process of setting up a Right to Manage company is a relatively simple one. However, the qualifying criteria and responsibilities involved are more complex and should be understood before setting up your RTM. A good place to start is the Right to Manage Advice Guide, put together by the Leasehold Advisory Service. This comprehensive guide sets out everything from your rights and qualifying criteria to your obligations, and even budgets & planning.

Do you

Qualify?

The right to form an RTM applies to the following:
  • Leaseholders of a building or part of a building containing at least 2 flats.
  • At least two-thirds of the flats in the building must be owned by long leaseholder (leases of more than 21 years when first granted)
  • At least half of the flats in the building, held by long leaseholders, must take part.
  • The building does not qualify for RTM if the non-residential areas, eg shops, make up more than 25% of the whole floor area of the building.
  • The building may not qualify if there are four or fewer flats and there is a resident landlord.
