Right To Manage (RTM) - Case Studies

Canonbury Management have performed hundreds of RTM claims and have a wealth of experience in the process. Whilst the majority of cases progress without the freeholder serving a counter notice, some require that an application is made to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal for determination. Listed below is a sample of cases where Canonbury has applied to the LVT. These case studies and all RTM LVT applications are are also available through the Residential Property Tribunal Service website.

Cann Hall Road

Counter notice reasons	The freeholder raised various issues to do with the description of the property, the form of the legal notices and the dates on which they were received.
Judgement	The Freeholder's objections were found to be without grounds and Canonbury's documents were affirmed as being accurate.

Boutflower Road

Counter notice reasons	The Freeholder wrongly believed that the ownership of the freehold was split when it was clear from the land registry that it was not.
Judgement	The LVT agreed with our assessment of the situation and approved the Right to Manage.

175 Dartmouth Road

Counter notice reasons	The freeholder raised various Objections and stated that they had not received the claim notice served upon them.
Judgement	The Freeholder withdrew their objections at the eleventh hour.

67 Chadwick Road

Counter notice reasons	The freeholder stated that they had not received the claim notice served upon them but had not served a counter notice.
Judgement	The Tribunal decided that in the absence of such a counter notice having been served, the RTM Company had acquired the Right to Manage and the LVT had no jurisdiction to hear the matter.
