What Is RTM?

A Legal Right to Choose How Your Building Is Run

Under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, qualifying leaseholders can form an RTM company and take over management of their building without buying the freehold.

This means you appoint your own managing agent, control your service charge budget, and make decisions about your building directly.

  • No need to prove mismanagement or fault

  • No court process required

  • Freeholder cannot unreasonably resist a valid claim

  • Works for most residential leasehold buildings

Eligibility

Is Your Building Eligible for RTM?

  • The building must be self-contained residential premises

  • At least two-thirds of flats held on long leases

  • At least 50% of eligible leaseholders must participate

  • No existing RTM company for the same building

Not sure if you qualify?

Our free eligibility check takes under 2 minutes. We'll confirm within 24 hours no commitment to proceed.

Why Leaseholders Choose RTM

Right to Manage isn't just a legal mechanism it's the difference between living with a building's decisions and making them. Compare what life looks like before and after taking control.

  • Decisions made without consulting residents

  • Service charges rise without clear explanation

  • Slow or unresponsive answers to building issues

  • Contractors appointed without competitive quotes

  • Limited transparency on how money is spent

  • No say in insurance, contracts or major works

  • Difficulty replacing an underperforming agent
