1. RTM Success Story in Central London

Hello everyone, just writing to let you know about a right to manage ("RTM") success story at a Central London block, with over 30 flats.

2. Challenges Faced in the RTM Process

When we were engaged by the leaseholders to help them with their right to manage ("RTM") bid, we found that many flats were being sublet and that we had no contact details for their leaseholders. This was a potential problem because we could not contact all the leaseholders to inform them of the RTM process and invite them to join in.

3. The Solution to the Problem

We solved this problem by:

1. Conducting Land Registry searches for the owners; and
2. Serving a notice under Section 82 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 on the freeholder. This notice required the Freeholder to release the names of all the leaseholders in the block within 28 days, which they duly did.

4. The Role of Legislation in Solving Complications

This story shows that even when complications arise, the legislation is there to help leaseholders solve such problems.

RTM Success Story: Overcoming Challenges in Central London

In a recent Right to Manage (RTM) success in Central London, leaseholders of a 30-flat block were able to secure management control despite initial challenges. Many flats were sublet, and leaseholder contact details were missing, which could have hindered the RTM process.

To address this, the team conducted Land Registry searches and served a notice under Section 82 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002. This legally required the freeholder to provide a list of all leaseholders within 28 days, allowing the process to continue smoothly. This story highlights how legislation can assist leaseholders in overcoming potential obstacles during the RTM process.
