Right to Manage barrister
Seeking a Right to Manage barrister? We provide access to independent barristers for leaseholders, RTM companies and landlords seeking advice on a disputed RTM process or related issue, subject to suitability and availability.
Focused case assessment
Support at the important stages of an RTM matter.
Right to Manage is a statutory route through which qualifying leaseholders may take over management functions without buying the freehold. Eligibility and procedure depend on the building, the parties and the steps already taken.
Notices and objections
Get advice on notices, responses and objections, including the documents and dates that matter.
Handover and management
Consider disputed handover information, management functions or related service charge issues.
Advice, drafting and advocacy
Check each procedural step carefully.
A barrister may be able to advise on the proposed claim, review correspondence, help prepare written submissions or represent a party in a related tribunal or court dispute. The exact role must be agreed in writing.
If the RTM process involves several leaseholders, a group should identify a clear point of contact and provide a consistent set of leases, notices and correspondence for assessment.
Discuss an RTM dispute.
Tell us whether you are a leaseholder, RTM company or landlord, what stage the process has reached and whether a hearing date has been set.
General information only. Counsel must confirm the law and procedure that apply to the building and the facts. Public Access is not suitable for every case; a solicitor may be needed for litigation conduct or ongoing case management.
