11 & 15 Mann Island Liverpool RTM is a Right to Manage (RTM) company. This is a special type of company created by leaseholders to take over the management of their building: a private company limited by guarantee.

Leaseholders who qualify have the right to become members, and to choose the board of directors. In turn, the board of directors is responsible for appointing and overseeing the managing agent and takes on many of the landlord’s management functions, including collecting service charges, maintaining common areas, and enforcing lease covenants. By law, an RTM company only needs to have one director, though larger blocks often appoint a board of two or more for practical reasons. 11 & 15 Mann Island currently has three.

Decisions must follow statutory procedures set out in law, including the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 and the RTM Companies (Model Articles) (England) Regulations 2009. There is a set process for informing the landlord that 50% of leaseholders are members of the RTM company and so that the company wants to give ‘notice of claim’. Other regulations cover how the company keeps records, gives members the right to vote on key decisions, and follows statutory deadlines laid out in the RTM legislation and model articles. This ensures transparency, fairness, and compliance with the company’s legal obligations.
