Switching Managing Agents with Ease
We have a wealth of experience in assisting clients with changing managing agents, navigating handovers of all complexities. If you’re considering a switch, your first step is to discuss your situation with us for informal advice.
Once we understand your development’s legal framework, we can advise on the most efficient way to change your managing agent. Depending on your circumstances, the process may be simple but occasionally can be quite involved.
For those with a tri-partite lease (involving the Freeholder, the Management Company, and the Leaseholder), the directors of your Resident’s Management Company (RMC) typically have the authority to appoint a new agent. In this case, you can propose a change of agents to the current board of directors of the RMC or become appointed as a director to implement the change yourself.
For bi-partite leases (with the Freeholder and Leaseholder as the named parties), the freeholder has the power to appoint a managing agent. In such situations, the most efficient course of action is to request the freeholder to switch to an agent of your choosing. However, if this isn’t feasible, alternative options may be available which we are more than happy to guide you through. You can find out more about these options here:
- Making a tribunal application for appointment of manager
- Make a Right to Manage Claim
- Buy the freehold under collective enfranchisement
PPM already has an excellent relationship with many developers and freeholders and are happy to assist with a smooth, stress-free handover, offer advice and guidance or put you in touch with specialist professionals where necessary.
