From Tenants to Owners.
We have the legal right to fire our managing agent and take ownership of our building. The law is on our side, and it is time.
The Two-Step Escape Plan
We do not have to ask Southern Housing for permission. We just need to organize. Here is exactly how we legally take control.
Right to Manage (RTM)
Under the 2002 Reform Act, if 50% of us agree, we form a resident-run RTM Company and legally strip Southern Housing of their management contract.
- No buyout cost to the landlord
- We pick an independent managing agent
- Take control of our Reserve Funds
- Slash bloated management fees
Commonhold Conversion
Once the pending Leasehold & Commonhold Reform Bill passes, we upgrade from managing the building to owning it outright.
- Abolish leasehold completely
- Purchase freehold at near-zero cost (£0 ground rent)
- No more lease decay affecting property value
- Permanent resident control
Are you a Shared Owner?
You might have been told in the past you don't have rights. As of March 2025, that is no longer true. Thanks to the Leasehold Reform Act 2024, shared owners now have 100% equal voting rights for Right to Manage.
Your signature counts exactly the same as a 100% owner.
Why This Matters
Control Spending
Take control of spending and investment. Stop paying inflated rates for mega-contractors.
Choose Management
Get the flexibility to pick our own management company and fire them if they underperform.
Full Transparency
No more ignored emails, vague invoices, or being kept in the dark about our own building.
Cut the Middle-Man
Reduce layers of bureaucracy and ensure our service charges actually deliver real services.
See the Money Counter
Watch in real-time as questionable service charges pile up. We are tracking every pound wasted on services we do not receive.
We need 8 signatures.
To legally force Southern Housing to hand over management, we need exactly 50% of the building (8 out of 15 flats) to sign the mandate.
1. Sign the Mandate
Provide your legal consent to join the RTM application. There is zero upfront cost to you to begin this process.
2. Join the Discussion
Get real-time updates and ask questions in the building's secure resident-only WhatsApp group.
