Switching your managing agent
Whether you are a Freeholder or a Leaseholder, Connect UK are here to guide you through the process of switching your managing agent.
If you are the Freeholder or a Director of a Right to Manage Company (RTM), it is easy to change to your Managing Company. A review of the contract you have signed and agreed with the Managing Agent will identify any notice periods or triggers that will allow you to end the contract. Once the notice is given or the contract is terminated, you will be able to appoint a new Managing Agent.
If you need more advice or legal aid in regards to how to switch, please book a free consultation or call us on 01293 665642.
Many leaseholders assume that the management comes with the block and that they are unable to change their management agent.
In fact, leaseholders can organise a new property management company if they believe their block manager is unsatisfactory and are not fulfilling the management of the block.
Before changing your block manager ensure that you understand your type of lease and your legal rights as this will become important in changing your managing agents.
