CWBC - Supporting Leaseholders Right to Manage

​At Clarke & Watt Building Consultancy (CWBC), we understand that leaseholders seeking to exercise their Right to Manage (RTM) require expert guidance to navigate the complexities of property management. Our comprehensive suite of services is designed to empower leaseholders, ensuring a seamless transition to self-management while maintaining the highest standards of property upkeep.​

Right to Manage (RTM)

Taking control of your building’s management can feel like a big step, but the RTM gives leaseholders like you the power to do just that—without having to prove landlord mismanagement. Instead of relying on a third party, RTM allows you and your fellow leaseholders to make the decisions that directly impact your home. From service charges to maintenance and legal compliance, you’ll have the freedom to create a management approach that works best for you, ensuring your building is well-maintained, cost-efficient, and truly feels like home.

How CWBC Supports Leaseholders in RTM

Embarking on the RTM journey can be daunting, but with CWBC's expertise, leaseholders are equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to manage their properties effectively. Our support encompasses:​

Comprehensive Building Surveys

Understanding the current condition of the property is paramount. Our experienced surveyors conduct detailed building surveys, identifying existing issues and potential risks. This insight allows leaseholders to prioritize maintenance tasks and budget accordingly.

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)

Proactive maintenance is key to preserving property value and ensuring safety. We assist in developing PPM schedules that outline regular upkeep activities, helping to prevent costly repairs and extend the lifespan of building components.

Fire Consultancy

Ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations is a critical responsibility. Our fire consultancy services provide assessments and recommendations to enhance fire safety measures, protecting residents and aligning with legal requirements.

Licence for Alterations

When leaseholders wish to make alterations to their units, it's essential to assess the impact on the overall structure. We offer guidance on licences for alterations, ensuring that modifications comply with building regulations and do not compromise structural integrity.

Party Wall Surveying

For properties with shared walls, any construction work requires careful consideration to prevent disputes. Our party wall surveying services facilitate smooth communication and agreement between neighbours, adhering to the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

Dilapidations

Managing the condition of the property at the end of a lease term is crucial. We provide dilapidation assessments to ensure that leaseholders meet their obligations, maintaining the property's condition and value.
