Right to Manage Website

Welcome to our Right To Manage Site

The Right To Manage provisions of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 came into effect in 2003. The Act provides a route for flat owners to take control of their own communal affairs, regardless of whether or not there is any fault on the part of the freeholder or the current manager.

The HSC Right To Manage website is provided for Flat owners who wish to consider collectively controlling the service charges and the standards of service received.

If your flat meets the following criteria, you have a statutory right to directly control the management of your block:

The premises consist of a self-contained building, or part of a building,

‘Part of a building’ is self-contained if it has vertical division, could be redeveloped independently and has, or could have, its own services,

Your building must include at least two flats,

At least two thirds of tenants (flat owners) must ‘qualify’,

To ‘qualify’, the original lease must be for more than 21 years

There is no limit to the number of flats owned by one person,

Any commercial / non-residential content must be no more than 25%of the total floor area,

No past or present residence is needed.

If you believe your building meets these requirements and you wish to explore the possibility and responsibilities of flat owners in your building taking control we are here to help. We will meet with you and your neighbours in the daytime or evening, and without obligation, to explain just what is involved and the service we can provide to help you succeed.

Our consultant has 20 years experience of working specifically with and for Residents Management Companies and brings to you the benefit of this experience of working with residents, in a friendly informal meeting. This initial consultation is without any charge to you, and there is absolutely no obligation on your part.
