Leaseholders Right to Manage

The Commonhold & Leasehold reform Act 2002 established a right for leaseholders to take over the management of their building, subject to meeting certain conditions. In situations where leaseholders or tenants of flats let on long leases are unhappy with how their building is being managed, they, together with their neighbours, may be able to take over the management of their building. In order to make it easier to assess if you and your neighbours are able to take over the management of their building, the Government has launched an online tool called “The Right to Manage Assessment Tool” which provides a simple online questionnaire which breaks down the eligibility criteria by way of a series of yes or no questions. To use the new tool, and see if you could take over the management of your building follow this link: http://righttomanage.cflabs.org.uk
