RTM professional services: specialists who know leasehold
After you win the right to manage, the questions change. Who handles the building insurance? Which solicitor knows RTM law? Where do you find an accountant who understands service charge accounting? Our vetted partner marketplace gives RTM directors in England direct access to specialists who do this every day.
Explore the partner marketplaceWhy generalists cost RTM companies more than they save
Leaseholders spend years fighting to take back control of their building. The last thing you need after winning is a professional who has never seen a service charge account or an RTM notice. Generalists learn on your time — and your service charge budget.
RTM law is a narrow specialism
The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, Section 20 consultation, qualifying criteria — a solicitor without leasehold experience will miss things that a specialist catches immediately. Your claim, your lease, and your ongoing compliance all depend on it.
Block insurance is not household insurance
Buildings insurance for a block of flats covers shared structures, communal liability and major works — very different from residential cover. An insurer who doesn't know block management will underinsure you or charge over the odds for the wrong product.
Service charge accounts need a specific framework
The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 sets out how service charge funds must be held and reported. An accountant unfamiliar with this framework won't just make an error — they'll create a legal exposure for every leaseholder in the building.
Block managers live or die by their systems
A managing agent who handles residential lettings but has never run an RTM company won't know the director duties, the compliance calendar or how to handle a dispute between leaseholders. Specialist block managers do — and it shows in the service charge.
Six categories of specialist partner
Every category in our marketplace is there because RTM company directors asked for it. These are the professionals you actually need — before, during and after your claim.
Legal
Solicitors with hands-on RTM claim experience. They understand the notice process, qualifying criteria, and what happens when a freeholder disputes your claim. Not leasehold generalists — RTM specialists.
Insurance
Brokers and underwriters who place block buildings insurance, Directors and Officers cover for RTM company directors, and engineering inspection policies — the specific products your building needs.
Banking
RTM companies need a dedicated client account to hold service charge funds separately. Our banking partners offer accounts specifically designed for RTM and residents management companies, with the right governance controls.
Accounting
Accountants who prepare service charge accounts under the ICAEW Technical Release and understand what Section 42 demands. Your leaseholders deserve accounts that are legally compliant, not just tidy.
Block Management
Managing agents experienced in working for RTM companies — where the client is the RTM company directors, not a freeholder. They report to you, not around you. See our guide to managing your RTM company for what to look for.
Maintenance
Contractors who work with RTM-managed blocks: planned maintenance, reactive repairs, Section 20 qualifying works. Pre-vetted so you spend less time finding someone reliable and more time running your building properly.
How we vet every partner in the marketplace
Being on this platform is not a matter of paying a listing fee. Every partner is assessed before they appear — and we remove anyone who does not maintain the standard.

1
Demonstrated RTM or leasehold specialism
We ask for evidence of specific experience with RTM companies, not just residential property work. A general practice solicitor or a buy-to-let insurance broker does not qualify.
-

Appropriate professional registration
Solicitors are SRA-regulated. Brokers are FCA-authorised. Accountants hold recognised professional qualifications. Managing agents are ARMA or RICS-accredited where applicable. We check — you don't have to.

Transparent pricing for RTM clients
We require partners to provide clear, upfront fee structures for RTM company work. No opaque hourly rates with no cap, and no commission arrangements that aren't disclosed to you, just simple pricing.

Ongoing performance monitoring
Platform members can report issues with any partner. We review complaints and remove partners who do not meet the standard. The marketplace stays useful only if it stays honest.
A note on legal advice: RightToManage.ai is a guidance and technology platform — we are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice. Our legal partners are qualified solicitors who do. When you need a professional opinion, use one of them.
