I realise I didn't post an update on my RTM claim from an aggressive managing agent.
We finally achieved our right to manage our block in May this year, we've been self managing with Canonbury as our agent ever since. It is BRILLIANT. Our payments have gone down from £220 a month to £140 a month and the service is twenty times as good.
They're now trying to charge us £11k in legals for the privilge - for which they'll get absolutely destroyed at Tribunal - but that's a small thing to have to deal with in exchange for self management.
I'm now a bit of an expert in RTM. If anyone has any questions or they're thinking abotu buying a place with a crap managing agent, and they want to know what it feels like to go through this, give us a PM. You do have rights even if you are in a leasehold property.
