Consulting with Ashley Wilson
We appreciate that being an employee or partner is not for everyone; consulting can be a better solution.
Perhaps you wish to earn more, you have years of experience and a loyal following which you wish to continue to service full time or you are looking to taper your time commitment with a view to retirement with support when you need it. We can offer flexible arrangements to suit your requirements.
Just let us know what your aspirations are and we can look to work with you to achieve those under our umbrella.

The right to manage (RTM) enables leaseholders of residential flats to take control of management of their building via an RTM company that they are members of so replacing the landlord or other third party appointed in the lease in this regard.
In Brickfield Properties Ltd v Oakwood Court Blocks 9 & 10 RTM Company Ltd [2026] UKUT 133 (LC), the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) has provided welcome clarity on one of the more technical hurdles in multi-block Right to Manage (RTM) claims: whether services can be said to be “independent” for the purposes of section 72(4) of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.
The right to manage is often perceived to be a low-cost alternative to acquiring the freehold collectively by participating flat owners.
The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 received royal assent in the wash up just prior to the election.
It included some of the changes around the rights of leaseholders of flats and houses to obtain extended leases and the freehold that The Law Commission had recommended, i.e. providing for leases to be extended by 990 rather than 90 years, doing away with the need to have owned for two years to qualify for an extended lease and bringing more buildings within the right to enfranchise or manage by increasing the threshold of non-residential parts from 25% to 50%.
