They are a government funded body who are able to assist you and they provide free information, initial advice and guidance to members of the public about residential leasehold.

Forming A Residents Association

Forming a residents association is an effective way for leaseholders to express their collective views to their landlord or managing agent. Its especially effective if your block isn’t run by a Residents Management Company (RMC) or Right to Manage Company (RTM).

To form a residents association, you should follow the procedures set by the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) in England or the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal in Wales.

At the end of this Advice Note, we’ve included a useful template constitution for residents associations to use.
