| The Setting Up Of A Right To Manage Company |
|
(The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act
2002)
It is possible to take away the management from the Landlord
or their Managing Agents by setting up a Company in which the
present Lessees would be involved. This is particularly useful
where the Lessees are constantly arguing about the service charge.
There are certain procedures that the Landlords and Agents must
follow before applying for service charge including a full disclosure
to the Lessees of how the amounts are calculated, producing
estimates and copies of any relevant agreements. If the Landlords
or Managing Agents do not follow this procedure we may be able
to assist with regard to disputing any such charges.
We can advise Lessees in a block of flats on the collective
purchase of the freehold from the Landlord and thereafter to
the granting to themselves of the leases for 999 years.
Are you aware that after a very short period of ownership that
you are entitled to an extension of your Lease to give a further
90 years in addition to the term that is already granted at
a peppercorn ground rent? Many Landlords try to negotiate an
extended term at a very high ground rent. We could assist in
making the appropriate application for the extension of Lease
in much more desirable terms.
Many Lessees are unaware that subject to having the appropriate
majority and even though the Landlord or Managing Agents may
have run the management efficiently that they have the right
to apply for the right to manage company that would take over
the management of the block of flats. This would give control
of such future management to the Lessees who are members of
the RTM Company thus preventing many of the concerns over budgeting
for works that are required to the property. We can assist by
drafting and serving the appropriate Notices to set up the RTM
Company to control the management of the building and, if required,
introduce you to independent Managing Agents to act on behalf
of the RTM Company in the future.
In circumstances where the majority of Lessees wish to discuss
service charge problems, the setting up of an RTM Company or
the Enfranchisement or long Leases, a meeting could be arranged
at the property or at a convenient venue to facilitate moves
and to enable all parties to be present together to put forward
their points of view.
