The High Court has now issued its much-anticipated judgment in Arc Time Freehold Income Authorised Fund and others -v- Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government [2025] EWHC 2751 (Admin), firmly rejecting the judicial review brought by several of London’s largest landed estates.
The Supreme Court has delivered an important judgment concerning the statutory right to manage (RTM), clarifying the circumstances in which a failure to comply with the procedural requirements of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 may invalidate an RTM claim.
The decision (Avon Freeholds Ltd v Cresta Court E RTM Company Ltd [2026]) is relevant to both leaseholders seeking to acquire the management of their building and freeholders or other landlords responding to such claims.
The Court distinguished between the substantive conditions which determine whether an RTM company is entitled to acquire the RTM and the procedural requirements governing the exercise of that right.
A new Bill which will fundamentally change the way renting residential property in the UK works is currently going through its second reading in the House of Commons.
If enacted, Assured Shorthold Tenancies will be scrapped and all new tenancies will be Assured Periodic Tenancies. The Section 21 ”No fault” process for recovering possession will no longer exist and so landlords will only be able to recover possession by using the existing Section 8 procedure and proving their ground for recovery of possession. It is proposed that new grounds for recovery of possession will be added including where the landlord wishes to sell the property.
