Q&As
In the event qualifying leaseholders of flats wish to take over the Right to Manage their block of flats, which comprises shops, will the RTM also be able to take over management of those shops or can the landlord maintain management of the shops and insist the RTM is only able to govern the residential aspects of the property? Also, if the commercial element is above 25% of the floor space of the block, does this de-bar any application for RTM and, if so, is there any exception to this rule?
