Section 20 Free Check

Check both Section 20 triggers in seconds — and find out exactly how much you could lose by getting it wrong.

If you run a leaseholder-owned block — as an RTM company, a residents' management company, or a right-to-manage director — one number can cost you a fortune: £250.

Get a Section 20 consultation wrong on major works and your recovery is capped at £250 per leaseholder, whatever the job actually cost. A £40,000 roof across twelve flats recovers just £3,000 — the block absorbs the other £37,000.

Section 20 Quick-Check is the free tool that shows you where you stand. It checks both Section 20 triggers:

Major works (the £250-per-leaseholder rule), and

Long-term agreements (the £100-per-leaseholder-per-year rule for maintenance, cleaning or servicing contracts).

Enter your figures and it instantly tells you:

whether a consultation is legally triggered,

exactly how much money is at risk if you skip it,

how much you can spend before the threshold kicks in,

what the consultation process involves and roughly how long it takes.

No legal training. No consultant. No guesswork.

Based on the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Service Charges (Consultation Requirements) Regulations 2003 (England).
