The right to seek the appointment of a manager from the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) is not available where the landlord;
- is a local authority,
- a registered provider (formerly a housing association),
- a fully mutual housing association,
- a charitable housing trust,
It is also not available where the landlord is resident in the premises and the building is a converted property (i.e. it is a house converted into flats) and less than half of the flats are let on long leases (normally these are leases which have been granted for a term in excess of 21 years).
You are likely to require the services of a solicitor and a managing agent.
