Everything the agent's office did, now run by your own board

Residents report a problem by email or app. The right contractor is booked and the board approves the bill.

Votes and AGMs
Every flat gets a say online, with minutes and a full record of decisions.
Service charges and budgets

Trusted contractors
Vetted local trades, quotes side by side, and jobs sent out within limits your board sets.
Nothing missed

Run the building
Issues are triaged, jobs booked, votes held and the books kept, with your board signing off.
An 80-flat block pays an agent about £24,000 a year
Most of that pays for an office. Freeholdpilot does the office work, and the savings stay with the leaseholders.

Leasehold news
What changed for people running their own building, and what to do about it.
Draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill: £250 ground rent cap and an end to forfeiture proposed
The draft bill published on 27 January 2026 would cap existing ground rents, abolish forfeiture of long residential leases and make commonhold the default for new flats. It is not law yet, and the government has given no timetable.
Leasehold reform in November 2026: what is in force and what is still to come
Some parts of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 already apply, many still need regulations, and the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill is not yet law. Here is where each change stands for blocks in England and Wales.
Managing agents to need a licence: what it means for blocks that manage themselves
The government has said property agents, including managing agents, will need a licence and qualifications, with an independent regulator. The details and start date are not decided. A block run by its own company is not an agent.
New service charge rules from 2027: what self-managed blocks should prepare
The government has confirmed standard demand forms, annual reports, standard accounts and a right to information for leaseholders. They are not in force yet, but freehold and RTM company directors can start getting ready now.
