How to switch

Switching your managing agent

Whether you are a Freeholder or a Leaseholder, Connect UK are here to guide you through the process of switching your managing agent.

If you are the Freeholder or a Director of a Right to Manage Company (RTM), it is easy to change to your Managing Company. A review of the contract you have signed and agreed with the Managing Agent will identify any notice periods or triggers that will allow you to end the contract. Once the notice is given or the contract is terminated, you will be able to appoint a new managing agent.

If you need more advice or legal aid regarding how to switch, please book a free consultation or call us on 0800 448 0100.

Many leaseholders assume that the management comes with the block and that they are unable to change their managing agent.

In truth, leaseholders can organise a new property management company if they believe the current arrangement is unsatisfactory and does not adequately manage the block.

Before changing your managing agent, ensure that you understand your lease type and your legal rights, as this will become important when changing the management.

Changing your managing agent can be far from easy. However, we’ve outlined ways to change block management companies:

  • Speaking directly with the freeholder.
  • Claiming the Right to Manage.
  • Making a request to the First Tier Tribunal to appoint a manager.
  • Buying the Freehold (Collective enfranchisement).

If you need more advice or legal aid in regards to how to switch, please book a free consultation or call us on 0800 448 0100.

Recent success stories

Fully Managed Block

Richmond House
The last agent poorly managed this block which left it in financial difficulty (over £18,000 worth of debt). Connect UK rejuvenated this commercial block and brought the debt up to date. Connect UK also budgeted for a reserve fund for this block so any maintenance issues that arise can be dealt with swiftly.

Fully Managed Block

The Greenview
This unit of flats had been running at a loss for the last two years and maintenance jobs were delayed due to no funds available. Connect UK brought the arrears up to date, put a reserve fund in place and started to work on the outstanding maintenance to make the block more modern and up to date.

Fully Managed Block

Broadfield Barton
We took over this mixed precinct of commercial and residential units due to poor management. The previous agent over spent and budgeted poorly, missing out vital maintenance. We corrected the budget and are now saving on the maintenance issues that arise by using local contractors.
