Nick Plotnek Associates are also able to advise you on your right to manage your own block of flats under the Right To Manage provisions of The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002. This Act allows Leaseholders to remove the management company of their block, and replace it with a company of their choice.
Why take up your Right to Manage?
If you live in a block of flats and do not have a say in whom runs that block then you can benefit from the Right to Manage Process.
This 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 two-thirds of the flat-owners within the physical block must have long leases (greater than 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, however, we will advise you on those if they arise.
If you find you are ineligible for the Right To Manage legislation, but are having problems with your managing agent, please contact the Lease Advisory Service who can provide valuable help and guidance on all matters relating to leasehold property.
Nick Plotnek Associates will guide and assist you through this difficult process at the lowest possible cost.
