Right to Manage

Why take your Right to Manage?

The Commonhold & Leasehold reform Act 2002 allows disgruntled leaseholders to form their own management company, thus removing the company currently managing the block allowing for more control over the running of the property.

If you live in a block of flats and do not have a say in how your property is run then you can benefit from the Right to Manage Process. The right is available to all flat-owners, in all blocks, where they fulfil the following criteria:

At least 50% of the flat-owners within the physical block of flats must want to go through the process.
At least 2/3rds of the flat-owners within the physical block must have long leases (21 years at the time of issue).
No more than 25% of the block may be used for non-residential use (excludes car parks and common areas connected with the flats).

If your block fulfils these criteria then it is highly likely you will be able to go through the Right To Manage process with 100% success.There are a small number of technical legalities which can prevent some blocks going through the right to manage process and so you should discuss with our team beforehand whether to progress your claim as one right to manage claim or several for your complex.

The process can be difficult to complete without specialist assistance, Inspired can assist you from start to finish whilst guaranteeing the lowest rates possible.
