Residents Management Company Building insurance

by GordonClose

I am a Director of an RMC and the Freeholder insists it is their right to arrange the insurance. Have I the same right as an RTM to take over the arrangement of insurance?

Ahh,,... I see I completely misunderstood the context. This seems like a very odd arrangement. What exactly is the purpose of this RMC -- or does the abbreviation perhaps mean Residents Management Committee (not Company) - with no powers at all apart from advisory.

Is it actually a company...

How can we get out of this obligation. If we setup an RTM would we then have the right to arrange insurance and ignore the lease statement.?

I presume then that the Freeholder has the right to arrange and pay for the insurance (as they do now) and the RMC has to pay regardless of whether the insurance is a reasonable cost - double the amount we obtained on other quotes for the same benefits....

It states RMC will keep the building insured as directed. The Freeholder directs. RMC does as directed.

Thank you for the replies. The RMC (not an RTM) was setup by the builders when the property was built so has always been in existence (since 1980). The insurance has always been arranged by the Freeholder and paid for by the RMC. The lease states that the RMC will keep the buildings insured as directed...

Sale of Freehold - Tax to Pay

by divadee

Hi, I hope I can write this in a clear way that makes sense!

We bought a leaseholders flat in 2016, the next year we bought the limited company that held the freehold. This was done as no other leaseholder were interested in buying the freehold a few months prior to us buying our leasehold...

Since you have received £14K and £12K from disposal = £26K , your capital gain will be £26K - £18K = £8K .

Right To Pass and Re-Pass (Not to Obstruct)

by LondonCalling

I am the owner/occupier of a leasehold first floor flat in a converted property consisting of two flats. The freeholder owns and is the occupier of the ground floor leasehold flat. There is a passageway/right of way from the road along the side of the building to my ground floor front door entrance....

by Lawcruncher

Absolutely not! Both the right and covenant are clear. Ask the freeholder why he considers he should not be bound by the terms of the lease. If he insists he is not bound, suggest that in that case you are not bound by the terms of your lease either....
