Reeve Start · Route Advisor

Which route is right for your block?

There's more than one way to take back control. Reeve triages your options and recommends the cleanest path — with the others on the table.

Right to Manage (no-fault)

Recommended

You qualify. No need to prove fault — just follow the process correctly. Cheapest, cleanest path to control.

Challenge service charges (s27A LTA 1985)

Run in parallel

Run alongside: your 48% rise in 2 years and undisclosed insurance commission look challengeable. Evidence-readiness: medium-high.

Appoint a Manager (s24 LTA 1987, fault-based)

Fallback

Only if RTM stalls — needs a s22 preliminary notice and proof of mismanagement. Harder; evidence-heavy.

Collective enfranchisement (buy the freehold)

Refer out

Needs capital. Out of scope — refer to a specialist.

Route triage is information, not legal advice. For fault-based routes (s24) or buying the freehold, Reeve hands you to a specialist solicitor.
