- You will need to form an RTM company.
- The RTM company must serve a Notice Inviting Participation on all qualifying leaseholders who are not already members of the RTM company.
- The RTM company then serves a Claim Notice on:-
- any landlord in the building – ie the freeholder and any intermediate landlord
- any party to a lease other than as landlord and tenant -eg a management company named in a lease
- a manager (if there is one) appointed by the Tribunal.
A copy of the Claim Notice must be served on every qualifying tenant.
You are likely to require the services of a solicitor and a managing agent.
