Right to Manage

Professional Legal Guidance For Leaseholders Seeking The Right To Manage Their Building

The Right to Manage (RTM) is a legal provision that allows qualifying leaseholders of residential properties to take over the management of their building without purchasing the freehold. A legal adviser may help explain how the Right to Manage process operates, what eligibility requirements may apply, and how leaseholders may organise an RTM company.

RTM can provide leaseholders with greater involvement in decisions relating to property management, maintenance, and service charges. Through SynergiseUK, individuals can be introduced to regulated legal advisers who may outline the legal framework surrounding RTM applications, clarify procedural steps, and help you understand how the process is generally approached.
