What’s involved in setting
up a RTM company
To set up a Right-to-Manage company, the following conditions must apply:
- The building must be self-contained (separate blocks qualify separately and need individual RTM companies)
- The building must include at least two flats
- At least two thirds of the flats must be let to qualifying tenants, that is leaseholders whose leases were originally granted for an original term of more than 21 years
- The non-residential part of the building must not exceed 25% of the total floor area
- The participating residents must comprise at least 50% of the relevant flats
How to set up an RTM
Setting up a RTM is a major step and it should be preceded by serious discussion and research by leaseholders and their families. The Leasehold Advisory Service produces a leaflet which explains the process you will need to follow.
