Which Property Situation Applies?

Property-management company formation can arise in different circumstances. Start with the property, ownership or management situation you are dealing with, then consider the corporate structure and formation route that may be appropriate.

Start with the situation, not the company type. RTM, RMC, residents' management, freehold management and Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG) or Limited by Guarantee company (LBG) describe different aspects of a property or corporate arrangement. They should not automatically be treated as interchangeable. The appropriate structure depends on the property's circumstances, intended management arrangements and applicable legal requirements.

This overview is intended to help you identify the relevant situation. It does not determine RTM eligibility or replace specialist property or legal advice.

Your Property Management Formation Journey

Property-management company formation can involve more than simply registering a company. The correct route depends on the property, management objective, participants and legal framework. Where Right to Manage is being considered, incorporation is only the corporate foundation for a separate statutory process.

Incorporation Does Not Automatically Give the Company the Right to Manage

Where the project is intended to use the Right to Manage, forming the RTM company is only one stage of the process. The RTM company must separately satisfy the applicable statutory requirements and follow the prescribed procedure for making the RTM claim.

Depending on the circumstances, the statutory process can involve qualifying leaseholders becoming members, notices inviting participation, serving a notice of claim on the relevant parties, responding to any counter-notice or dispute, and potentially an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber). The precise procedure should be checked against the applicable legislation and current guidance.

The RTM Route Has Its Own Procedural Stages

If You Are Forming an RMC Rather Than Exercising RTM

The RTM statutory claim process described above does not automatically apply to every Residential Management Company (RMC). An RMC's role depends on the property's ownership, leases, contractual arrangements and governance structure. The company may therefore have a different operational and legal pathway from an RTM company.

Important: This roadmap explains the relationship between company formation and the wider property-management process. It does not determine whether a particular building qualifies for RTM, whether a particular person is a qualifying leaseholder, whether the required statutory notices are valid, or whether a tribunal application is appropriate. RTM eligibility, lease interpretation, property law and procedural disputes should be considered with the appropriate specialist adviser.

Understanding RTM, RMC and Property Management Arrangements

Terms such as RTM, RMC, residents' management, leasehold management and property management can describe different aspects of a residential or property arrangement. Understanding the terminology first helps you identify what needs to be established, who will participate and which corporate questions need to be considered.

What Is a Residential Management Company (RMC)?

A Residential Management Company (RMC) is a company used in connection with the management of residential property. Depending on the underlying arrangement, it may be involved in managing communal areas, services, facilities or other shared responsibilities within a residential building or development.

“RMC” is a broad property-management term rather than a single corporate structure. An RMC should therefore not automatically be treated as an RTM company, a Company Limited by Guarantee or a company limited by shares. The appropriate arrangement depends on the property and the rights and responsibilities involved.

What Is a Right to Manage (RTM) Company?

A Right to Manage (RTM) company is associated with the statutory Right to Manage mechanism. RTM is therefore not simply another name for a residential management company or a generic company formed to manage a block.

RTM involves specific statutory requirements and procedures. Whether a property and its qualifying leaseholders can use the RTM route depends on the applicable legal framework and the circumstances of the property. Company formation is one part of the wider process and does not, by itself, establish eligibility for the Right to Manage.

What Is a Residents' Management Company?

A residents' management company is a company or corporate arrangement through which residents or other members participate in managing aspects of a building, development or shared property. It can be relevant where residents want a formal structure for collective management, decision-making and shared responsibilities.

Leasehold Management

Leasehold management concerns the management of property where ownership and occupation are governed by leasehold interests. Depending on the development, arrangements may cover common areas, services, facilities, maintenance responsibilities or other shared obligations.

A leasehold management company can therefore form part of a wider arrangement, but the existence of leasehold property does not by itself determine the corporate structure. The leases, property arrangements and intended responsibilities need to be considered separately.

Freehold and Common-Area Management

A company may also be established or used in connection with freehold ownership, communal areas, estate facilities or shared property responsibilities. This can be materially different from a leasehold management arrangement or an RTM process. The intended ownership and management responsibilities should therefore be established before selecting the corporate route.

Flat, Apartment and Block Management

A flat management company, apartment management company or residential block management company may be used in connection with the management of common areas, shared facilities, services or other collective responsibilities.

These expressions describe the property-management purpose rather than automatically determining the company's legal form. Depending on the circumstances, the arrangement may connect with an RMC, residents' management, RTM or another corporate structure.

Residential Estates and Developments

Larger residential estates and developments may involve arrangements covering roads, communal spaces, landscaping, facilities, services or other shared estate responsibilities. The corporate arrangement depends on what the company is intended to own, manage, administer or coordinate and how residents, owners or other participants are expected to participate.

The Same Property May Involve More Than One Concept

A residential development might involve an RMC, residents' management arrangement, leasehold management company or freehold management company, while a qualifying leasehold property may also involve an RTM company. These terms describe different aspects of the overall arrangement and are not interchangeable.

The corporate question comes separately: should the relevant company be a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG), also commonly described as a Limited by Guarantee company (LBG), a company limited by shares, or another appropriate structure? That question should be considered against the actual property, membership, ownership and governance requirements.

Next: Once the terminology is clear, the important decision is understanding RTM company vs RMC and how the two arrangements differ.

RTM Company, RMC or Flat Management Company?

Property-management projects can involve different corporate structures, and the terms RTM company, Residential Management Company (RMC) and Flat Management Company (FMC) should not be treated as interchangeable. The correct route depends on the property's legal and management arrangements.

Why the Distinction Matters

Choosing a company name or ordering a standard formation package does not, by itself, determine the company's legal function. Before incorporation, it is important to understand whether the project involves a statutory RTM process, an existing or proposed management company, or another property-specific corporate arrangement.

This distinction can affect matters such as the company's purpose, membership, articles, governance, relationship with leaseholders and its role within the wider property structure. Formation should therefore follow an informed decision about the corporate route.

If You Are Considering an RTM Company

An RTM company is not simply a conventional property-management company with “RTM” added to its name. The statutory RTM regime has its own eligibility conditions, company requirements and procedural framework.

In particular, the company's formation should be considered in the context of the qualifying building, qualifying leaseholders, membership requirements and the intended Right to Manage process. Where those legal questions have not yet been established, specialist property or legal advice should be obtained before relying on the formation structure.

Important: This section explains the distinction between common corporate routes; it does not determine whether a particular building qualifies for Right to Manage or provide legal advice on the RTM procedure. Questions concerning RTM eligibility, lease interpretation, statutory notices, membership or property law should be considered with the appropriate specialist adviser.

From RTM Company to Right to Manage

Forming an RTM company is an important corporate step, but incorporation does not itself give the company the Right to Manage. The statutory RTM process is a separate stage involving eligibility, participation, statutory notices and prescribed procedures.

The RTM Process Does Not End at Companies House

Why This Distinction Matters

A company can therefore be correctly incorporated without having acquired the statutory Right to Manage. Conversely, an RTM project may require careful coordination between the company's corporate structure and the separate statutory procedure.

This is why an RTM formation service should be understood as the corporate foundation of the project, rather than as a guarantee that the statutory RTM process will succeed.

In simple terms: first establish whether the RTM route is appropriate; then form the RTM company correctly; then follow the separate statutory process for exercising the Right to Manage.

Choosing the Corporate Structure for Property Management

Once the property's management requirements and any proposed RTM or residential management route have been identified, a separate question arises: what type of company should be used? The corporate structure should support the underlying property arrangement rather than being selected simply because a particular company type is commonly associated with property management.

First Separate the RTM Question from the Company-Type Question

Right to Manage and corporate structure are related, but they are not the same question. Establishing which company structure may be appropriate does not itself establish a statutory Right to Manage, and incorporating a company does not by itself make a property eligible for RTM.

Where an RTM route is being considered, the property's qualifying conditions, participating leaseholders, statutory procedure and other applicable requirements should be considered separately. The company is then considered within that wider legal and property context.

CLG — also commonly described as an LBG

A Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG), also commonly described as a Limited by Guarantee company (LBG), is a company with members and no share capital. Instead of shareholders holding shares, the company operates through its members, who generally agree to contribute a specified amount to the company's assets if it is wound up, subject to the company's constitutional arrangements.

This membership-based structure can be relevant where the project requires collective participation, defined membership and governance without shareholder ownership. It may therefore be relevant to some residential, residents' or community-oriented property arrangements, but it is not automatically required simply because a project involves an RMC or RTM.

CLG / LBG Compared with a Company Limited by Shares

The principal distinction concerns the company's membership and capital structure. This distinction should be kept separate from the question of whether the company is being used in connection with RTM, residential management, freehold management or another property arrangement.

At a Glance: What Each Question Answers

When May a CLG / LBG Be Relevant to Property Management?

A Company Limited by Guarantee for property management may be considered where the project is intended to operate through members and a defined governance arrangement, rather than shareholders holding shares in the company.

Depending on the circumstances, a CLG/LBG may be relevant to certain residential management arrangements, residents' management structures, leasehold property projects, communal-area arrangements, property or community projects and other member-based structures. This does not mean that every residential management company, RMC or property-management company should be incorporated as a CLG/LBG.

If You Are Pursuing RTM, the Company Structure Is Only One Part of the Process

For an RTM project, the formation of the company should be considered alongside the statutory RTM process, qualifying leaseholders, property eligibility, required notices, participation and the transfer of management responsibilities.

The corporate-services provider can assist with the company formation and applicable corporate administration, but incorporation should not be presented as the legal act that grants the Right to Manage. The statutory property and leasehold process remains a separate matter.

CLG / LBG Does Not Automatically Define an RTM or RMC

An RTM company is connected to a specific statutory Right to Manage mechanism, while an RMC is a broader property-management concept. Neither label should be inferred solely from whether the underlying company has members and no share capital. Conversely, identifying a company as a CLG/LBG does not by itself establish that it is an RTM company, confirm RTM eligibility or determine the company's management rights.

The Property Situation Comes First

There is no universal company structure for every property-management project. The appropriate corporate route depends on the property's ownership and management arrangements, the intended members or shareholders, governance requirements and any applicable statutory or contractual framework.

Where an RTM arrangement is involved, its statutory requirements must be considered separately. A CLG/LBG may be relevant to some property or residential arrangements, but the company type should follow the project's requirements, not determine them in advance.

This section explains corporate structure; it does not determine RTM eligibility or provide a property-law determination. It is intended to help property owners, residents, developers, freeholders and other project participants understand the distinction between the statutory RTM route, the broader RMC concept and the underlying company structure before proceeding to formation. Specialist property, leasehold, RTM, legal, tax or accounting advice should be obtained where those issues fall outside the corporate-formation process.

Which Structure May Fit Your Situation?

The right starting point is not simply choosing a company type. First identify the property, management arrangement, participants and responsibilities involved. This helps distinguish between RTM company formation, RMC formation, leasehold management, residents' management, freehold management or another property-management structure.

This is a decision-orientation guide, not a legal recommendation. The appropriate route depends on the particular property, ownership and lease arrangements, participating owners, governance requirements and applicable statutory framework.

What Should You Establish Before Formation?

Before ordering a property management company formation, identify the practical and legal questions that determine what the company is intended to do. This helps separate the property-management requirement from the later corporate-formation decision.

From RTM Company Formation to the Right to Manage

If your situation is specifically an RTM project, it is important to understand that company incorporation is not the same as acquiring the Right to Manage. The corporate and statutory stages are connected, but they are separate parts of the overall process.

Considering RTM Company Formation?

Treat the corporate formation and the RTM claim as two connected but separate stages. The company needs to be established appropriately before it can operate as the RTM company, but incorporation alone does not establish entitlement to acquire management of the building.

RTM projects can involve qualifying-leaseholder questions, participation requirements, prescribed notices, landlord responses, statutory deadlines and, where necessary, First-tier Tribunal proceedings. Coddan can support the corporate-formation element within its agreed scope, while property-law and statutory RTM questions should be considered with an appropriately qualified property or legal adviser.

What Should You Establish Before Choosing the Route?

Before ordering a property management company formation, establish what the company is actually expected to do. For an RTM project, this should be considered alongside the statutory requirements rather than after the company has already been formed.

Identify the Questions Before Choosing the Company

There is no single company structure that applies to every property-management situation. An RMC, residents' management company, leasehold management company, block management company, freehold management company or RTM company can arise in different circumstances. Similarly, a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG), also commonly described as a Limited by Guarantee company (LBG), is not automatically required simply because a project involves residential property or residents.

Once the property's requirements and, where relevant, the RTM pathway have been identified, the next stage is to prepare the information needed for the appropriate corporate formation route.

How the Right to Manage Process Works

Setting up an RTM company is only the corporate starting point. The statutory Right to Manage process involves eligibility, leaseholder participation, prescribed notices, response periods and, where necessary, Tribunal proceedings before management can transfer to the RTM company.

An RTM Company Is Not the Same as Acquiring the Right to Manage

Incorporation creates the company; it does not itself transfer management. The RTM company is the corporate vehicle through which qualifying leaseholders pursue the statutory Right to Manage process. The building must qualify, the participation requirements must be satisfied and the prescribed claim procedure must be followed.

The distinction is important because an RTM company can exist without having yet acquired the Right to Manage. The company must complete the relevant statutory process before it can formally take over the management of the qualifying premises.

Key RTM Timing Points

The RTM procedure contains statutory intervals that affect when the claim can progress. These should be planned before notices are served rather than treated as administrative details after the company has been incorporated.

The RTM Process Also Requires Handover Planning

The statutory claim is not the only practical task. Before the acquisition date, the RTM company should consider how the building will actually be managed once control transfers. This can include reviewing existing contracts, deciding whether to appoint a managing agent, planning insurance and maintenance arrangements, and preparing for service-charge administration.

Think of RTM as Two Connected Processes

The strongest way to understand the process is to separate the corporate formation stage from the statutory RTM acquisition stage. They are connected, but they are not the same legal process.

Important: Formation Support Is Not RTM Legal Representation

PropertyForm covers the corporate formation element within the selected service scope. It does not by itself establish that a building qualifies for RTM, prepare or validate the legal merits of a claim, provide lease interpretation, guarantee a successful RTM claim, or represent an RTM company in contested Tribunal proceedings. Where eligibility, prescribed notices, disputes, Tribunal applications or other specialist property-law issues arise, the appropriate specialist adviser should be consulted.

If you are considering RTM, first establish whether the statutory route appears appropriate and understand the participation and procedural requirements. If you then need the corporate vehicle, the next step is to consider the RTM company formation requirements and available PropertyForm packages.

What Information Is Needed to Form the Company?

Once you have identified the property-management situation and considered the corporate structure that may be relevant, the next stage is to prepare the information required for incorporation.

The information required can differ between a Residential Management Company (RMC), an RTM company, a residents' management arrangement, a Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG) or a company limited by shares.

An RTM Company Is Part of a Wider Statutory Process

If the project involves Right to Manage (RTM), forming the company is only one stage of the wider process. The company information needed for incorporation should therefore be distinguished from the information and legal steps relevant to exercising the statutory Right to Manage.

Depending on the circumstances, the RTM project may require consideration of the qualifying building, leasehold structure, qualifying tenants, participating leaseholders, the proposed RTM company and the statutory notices and procedure. These matters should be assessed against the applicable RTM legislation and are separate from the company's incorporation application.

Company Formation and the RTM Procedure Are Different Stages

From Information Check to Incorporation

The formation process is easier to manage when the corporate information, property context and applicable identity requirements are considered in the correct order.

What Happens If Information Is Missing?

A complete application helps reduce avoidable queries and allows the proposed property-management company structure and formation information to be considered before submission. If information is missing or clarification is required, Coddan may contact you before the application is submitted.

Legal, property, tax, accounting and other specialist advice remains with the appropriate professional adviser. Coddan's formation support does not determine RTM eligibility, interpret leases, advise on property rights or replace specialist advice concerning the underlying property arrangement or statutory process.

Have Your Formation Information Ready?

Once the property situation, corporate structure and required information have been considered, you can move from formation preparation to the appropriate PropertyForm package.

How Coddan Supports the Corporate Side of Your Property Project

Once the property situation, management objective and appropriate corporate route have been considered, Coddan can support the company formation, identity-verification and corporate administration elements of the project within the agreed scope.

For an RTM project, this distinction is particularly important: forming the RTM company is not the same thing as acquiring the statutory Right to Manage. The corporate formation and the RTM procedure are related but separate stages.

What Does Coddan Actually Support in an RTM Project?

An RTM project can involve both a property-law procedure and a corporate-services process. Coddan's role is focused on the corporate side: helping establish and administer the company that is intended to operate within the relevant property-management or RTM framework.

Depending on the selected service, this can include company formation, preparation of incorporation information, applicable identity-verification support, Companies House submission and subsequent corporate administration. The underlying RTM eligibility, statutory notices, leasehold rights and legal procedure remain separate matters.

The RTM Procedure Remains a Separate Legal Stage

Forming an RTM company does not, by itself, transfer the Right to Manage to the leaseholders or the company. The RTM process involves its own statutory eligibility requirements, membership considerations, notices, procedural steps and legal consequences.

Those matters should be established and handled through the appropriate property solicitor or other suitably qualified RTM adviser. Coddan can then support the corporate-services layer around the company itself.

Formation Is Complete — What Comes Next?

An RTM or residential management company enters an ongoing corporate compliance cycle after incorporation. Depending on the company, this may involve the Confirmation Statement, changes to company information, director or member changes, identity-verification requirements and other statutory administration.

Coddan's ACSP and TCSP Role

Coddan CPM Ltd is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) and a Trust and Corporate Service Provider (TCSP). Our role is focused on the corporate-services layer of your project, including applicable company formation, corporate documentation, identity-verification support and company administration within the agreed scope.

What Remains With Specialist Advisers?

Company formation does not determine whether a particular property-management or RTM arrangement is legally available or appropriate. Questions concerning the underlying property rights and statutory procedure should be considered separately.

The RTM Process Does Not End at Incorporation

What If the RTM Claim Is Disputed?

A landlord or other recipient may serve a counter-notice stating that the RTM company is not entitled to acquire the Right to Manage. The statutory grounds and response procedure are defined by the RTM legislation and should not be treated as an informal objection process.

If the RTM company disputes the counter-notice, an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) may be required. The legislation provides a specific period for making that application. Professional legal or specialist RTM advice should be obtained where entitlement is disputed.

Important: Coddan's PropertyForm service addresses the corporate-services element of the project, including company formation and applicable corporate administration within the selected service scope. It does not by itself determine RTM eligibility, prepare legal advice on the lease, guarantee acquisition of the Right to Manage, conduct tribunal litigation or replace a specialist RTM/property solicitor.

Choose Your PropertyForm Package

Once you have considered your property-management situation and identified the corporate formation support you require, choose the PropertyForm™ package that best matches the level of assistance you need.

The four packages use the same project-first formation approach. The principal difference is the level of professional review, setup, registered-office support and corporate coordination included within the selected package.

Choose by the Level of Support You Need

Which PropertyForm Package Is Right for Your Project?

The package should be selected according to the level of corporate formation and administration support you require — not simply according to whether the project is described as an RTM, RMC, residents' management company, leasehold, freehold or another property-management arrangement.

If you have already identified the relevant structure and need straightforward incorporation, Essential may be appropriate. If you need greater preparation, setup or first-year compliance guidance, consider Enhanced. If a professional registered office is important from the outset, Professional adds that facility. Where the project requires more detailed preparation and coordination, Bespoke provides the highest level of support.

Formation Also Includes the Relevant Identity-Verification Stage

Company formation in the current Companies House environment can involve identity-verification requirements for relevant participants. The PropertyForm™ packages therefore include identity-verification guidance within their respective formation support. Where additional verification or compliance services are required, these can be considered separately as part of the wider corporate-services ecosystem.

Formation Support Is One Part of the Wider Property Project

Selecting a PropertyForm™ package does not determine RTM eligibility, property-law rights, lease interpretation, tax treatment, accounting treatment or other specialist requirements. Those matters remain with the appropriate solicitor, property adviser, accountant or other specialist professional. Coddan's role is the corporate-services layer: formation, corporate documentation, identity-verification guidance and corporate administration support within the agreed scope.

Ready to move from your identified property-management structure to company formation?

If you are unsure which package matches the level of support your project requires, review the comparison below before ordering.

What Happens After the RTM Company Is Incorporated?

Incorporating the RTM company is an important corporate step, but incorporation does not itself transfer the management of the building. The Right to Manage operates through a separate statutory process involving the qualifying leaseholders, the RTM company and the relevant parties connected with the building.

The Formation Company and the RTM Process Are Not the Same Thing

Coddan's formation service addresses the corporate-services element of establishing the RTM company. It should not be confused with legal advice on whether a building qualifies for RTM or whether a particular statutory claim will succeed.

Qualification, notice requirements, lease interpretation, disputes and the acquisition of management rights may require advice from a suitably qualified property or leasehold specialist.

A Few Important RTM Qualification Points

The statutory qualification rules are detailed and should be checked against the actual building and leases. In broad terms, GOV.UK guidance identifies requirements concerning the building, the number and type of qualifying leaseholders and the residential character of the premises.

Compare the Four PropertyForm Packages

Each PropertyForm™ package is built around the same core objective: establish the appropriate property-related company within the agreed corporate-services scope. The principal difference is the level of review, setup, registered-office provision and coordination support included with each route.

How Should You Use This Comparison?

The table is intended to help you identify the level of corporate formation support that appears closest to your requirements. It is not intended to determine whether your property project requires an RTM company, RMC, CLG/LBG, company limited by shares or another corporate arrangement.

Choose the corporate route first. Then choose the PropertyForm™ package that provides the appropriate level of support for establishing and administering that company.

What Happens After You Order?

Your PropertyForm™ order follows a structured process from application and review through verification, Companies House submission and incorporation. But incorporation is only one stage of the wider corporate lifecycle.

Verification Is Part of the Formation Lifecycle

Companies House identity-verification requirements form part of the wider corporate compliance environment. Where applicable, directors and other relevant individuals must complete the required verification route before the relevant corporate filing or role can proceed.

Where Coddan provides verification or ACSP-related support within the selected service, the process can be coordinated as part of the formation journey rather than treated as an unrelated administrative task.

What Happens After Incorporation?

Incorporation marks the beginning of the company's corporate life. Following successful registration, the company receives its applicable incorporation documentation, including the Certificate of Incorporation and constitutional documents, together with other relevant formation records within the scope of the selected package.

The company must then be maintained as an active legal entity. Depending on its circumstances, this can involve keeping company information and statutory records up to date, dealing with director and PSC changes, completing required Companies House filings, maintaining appropriate corporate records and meeting applicable identity-verification and governance requirements.

Incorporation Is the Start of the Annual Compliance Cycle

After formation, the company enters an ongoing compliance cycle. Future obligations can include the company's Confirmation Statement, changes to directors or PSC information, statutory record maintenance and other filings or notifications that become necessary as the company changes.

For a property-management company, this ongoing discipline is particularly important because the company may remain responsible for contracts, communal arrangements, member relationships and other corporate matters long after the original formation order has been completed.

Incorporation Is Not the Same as Exercising the Right to Manage

If your project concerns a statutory Right to Manage (RTM) process, forming the company is only one part of the wider project. The RTM company does not acquire management rights simply because it has been incorporated.

Important: Company formation does not itself establish or confirm Right to Manage eligibility, statutory RTM rights, leasehold rights, property-law arrangements, tax treatment, accounting treatment or other specialist property matters. The statutory RTM procedure and any legal, leasehold or property questions should be considered with the appropriate specialist adviser.

Additional Services and Ongoing Corporate Support

The four PropertyForm™ packages provide the principal company formation route. Your requirements may continue after incorporation, so relevant corporate services can be added separately when they become necessary.

Start With the Formation You Need — Add Support as Your Company Develops

You do not need to purchase every possible corporate service at incorporation. Depending on the company's circumstances, additional support can be introduced later for registered-office requirements, directors and PSCs, identity verification, Companies House filings, company secretarial administration, corporate records and ongoing compliance.

Your Property Company Has an Ongoing Corporate Compliance Cycle

Once incorporated, the company moves into an ongoing cycle of corporate administration. The requirements will depend on the company's structure, activities and changes over time, but can include the Confirmation Statement, director and PSC updates, statutory record maintenance, identity-verification requirements and other Companies House filings.

Corporate Support Does Not Replace Property or Legal Advice

Coddan's corporate services can support the company's formation, administration and Companies House compliance. They do not, however, determine RTM eligibility, interpret leases, establish property rights, provide legal advice on a statutory RTM claim or replace specialist tax, accounting or property advice where those matters arise.

Continue Into the Wider Coddan Corporate Services Ecosystem

Your property company may require different support at different stages. These related services provide natural next steps beyond the initial formation.

Availability, scope and pricing depend on the selected service, the company's circumstances and the applicable service terms.

Property Management Company Formation FAQs

These FAQs explain some of the key corporate and formation questions that arise when considering a property management company, Residential Management Company (RMC), Right to Manage (RTM) company or Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG). They are intended to help you understand the corporate side of the process before deciding whether formation support is appropriate.

Ready to Form Your Property Management Company?

Start with the property arrangement, identify the corporate structure that needs to be considered and then choose the PropertyForm™ package that matches the level of formation and corporate support you require. If you already know which structure you need, you can proceed directly to the appropriate formation package.

Important scope note: PropertyForm™ services address the corporate formation and related corporate-services element within the agreed service scope. They do not determine whether a property qualifies for RTM, interpret leases, establish property rights or provide legal, tax, accounting or other specialist property advice. Where those questions arise, the appropriate specialist adviser should be consulted.
