Take control of your building with Right to Manage

If your building is managed by a freeholder or their appointed agent, it can often feel like you have little say in how things are run.

Across Cambridgeshire, many leaseholders experience the same issues: rising service charges with limited explanation, slow or poor-quality maintenance, and decisions being made without resident input.

What many leaseholders don’t realise is that you may have the legal Right to Manage, introduced under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.

Right to Manage (RTM) allows leaseholders to take control of the management of their building—without buying the freehold. It gives you the power to decide how your building is run and who manages it.

At Love Your Estate, we support leaseholders through this process and provide professional management once control has been achieved.

The first step is understanding whether your building qualifies and whether enough leaseholders want to move forward. We help simplify this, explaining the process in clear terms so you can make informed decisions with your neighbours.

Once RTM is in place, leaseholders typically form a company that becomes responsible for managing the building. That’s where we come in.

We provide the professional structure behind your RTM company, handling service charges, maintenance, contractor management, compliance, and resident communication. You retain control—but without taking on the full operational workload.

This is key. While RTM gives you control, managing a building still requires expertise, time, and organisation. With the right managing agent in place, you get the benefits of control without the stress of day-to-day management.

The result is a building that is run in the interests of leaseholders—with better transparency, better maintenance, and a managing agent that works for you.

If you feel your building could be managed better, Right to Manage may be the opportunity to make that change.
