Court-appointed manager

Take me straight to 'court-appointed manager' help »

What's a court appointed manager?

A 'court-appointed manager' is a manager apointed by the leasehold valuation tribunal (LVT) under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002

It is preferable to claim the 'right to manage' (RTM) your property rather than requesting the court to appoint a manager for you because:
  1. with RTM you do not need to prove that your current landlord is at fault
  2. there is no burden on RTM to compile evidence
  3. proceedings are generally quicker and less costly

However, you may need a court-appointed manager because:
  • you cannot get the required support to claim your right to manage (51%)
  • the freeholder is obstructive and owns flats making your claim to RTM difficult

What evidence is required?

To get a court-appointed manager you'll need evidence. In previous cases we have addressed issues such as:
  • Breach of the 'keep carpeted clause' in the lease
  • Breach of lease - non-compliance with statue/bye-laws specifically building regulations
  • Breach of statute - failure to produce accounts, there being more than 4 dwellings in the block

Why choose Ringley as your court appointed manager?

There are plenty of reasons to choose Ringley as your manager, but during this process there is an official statement drafted to show the court.
