Take Control of Your RMC

If your building already has a Residents' Management Company (RMC), you're one step ahead. We help you become directors and secure real power over budgets and management decisions.

Great News If You Have an RMC!

Having an existing RMC means you can avoid the complexities of RTM. You already have the legal structure in place - now you just need to take control of it. This is often the fastest and most cost-effective route to better building management.

Why Take Control of Your RMC?

Unlock the power that's already yours - without complex legal processes

Immediate Control & Influence

As a director, you have direct say in budget setting, contractor selection, and all management decisions

No Additional Legal Costs

Unlike RTM or enfranchisement, taking control of an RMC requires minimal legal process and expense

Work Within Existing Structure

Use the RMC framework that's already in place - no need to create new companies or serve complex notices

Faster Results

Start making improvements immediately once you're appointed as directors - no waiting periods

RMC Takeover vs Right to Manage

Why RMC control might be your best option

RMC Takeover

  • • Work within existing structure
  • • No complex legal notices required
  • • Faster to implement
  • • Lower costs (minimal legal fees)
  • • Immediate budget control
  • • No qualifying criteria to meet

Right to Manage

  • • Need to create new RTM company
  • • Complex statutory notices required
  • • 4-6 month process typically
  • • Higher legal and setup costs

The Bottom Line: If you have an RMC, taking control of it is almost always simpler, faster, and cheaper than pursuing RTM. We can help you make it happen.

Common RMC Challenges We Solve

We've seen it all and know how to fix it

"The current directors won't step down"

We help you use the proper legal channels to call meetings and vote in new directors. The Articles of Association provide the framework - we show you how to use it effectively.

"The managing agent controls everything"

As directors, you have the power to replace the managing agent or bring services in-house. We guide you through reviewing contracts and making the transition smooth.
