Common challenges for RTM directors
When an RTM takes over, the supplier bills land with you. Reading meters, splitting communal costs fairly across leaseholders, chasing late payers, reconciling against supplier statements — it's a sustained piece of administration that usually falls on volunteer directors with day jobs. Mistakes creep in, recovery rates slip, and the block ends up quietly subsidising costs it should have recovered. We were built to fix exactly that.
Recovering communal utility costs in full
We start by reviewing your lease, the supplier setup and your current meter infrastructure, then agree a fair, defensible allocation method with the board. From that point on, every supplier invoice is processed, every leaseholder is billed in line with the agreed rule, and every payment is collected automatically — so the recovery rate stays high without anyone on the board chasing.
Automated billing that runs in the background
Invoices go out on the schedule you choose, with Direct Debit, card and bank transfer as standard. Reminders are automated, escalations are structured, and the audit trail is open to residents on request. Directors get their evenings back — and the block's cash flow improves at the same time.
Reporting and reconciliation built for boards
Each month you receive a clean statement: supplier costs in, leaseholder charges out, payments collected, arrears outstanding. At year end we reconcile every utility account against the supplier statements, so the service charge accounts add up first time and your accountant doesn't have to rebuild anything from spreadsheets.
The benefits to you
- Free up volunteer director time every month
- Recover more of what the block is owed
- Transparent invoices that reduce leaseholder disputes
- Year-end reconciliation that ties out first time
- Fixed per-unit fees — no supplier commissions
- Dedicated UK-based account manager

We're a small RTM — is this service worth it for us?
Yes. Smaller RTMs often feel the admin burden hardest because directors are unpaid volunteers. Our fixed per-unit pricing means the cost is predictable, and most directors find the time saved easily exceeds the fee.
Will the board still have visibility and control?
Completely. The board agrees the allocation method up front, sees real-time recovery on a dashboard and receives a clean monthly statement. Nothing happens without your sign-off.
How do you handle disputes with leaseholders?
Most disputes never happen because every invoice shows the supplier cost, allocation method and the leaseholder's share in plain English. When a query does arise, our UK support team resolves it directly — your directors don't need to.
Can you work alongside our existing managing agent?
Yes. We sit alongside any managing agent or work directly with self-managed boards. Either way, the utility billing leg is taken off the agent's plate so they can focus on the rest of the service charge.
How quickly can we get started?
Most RTM blocks are fully migrated within four to six weeks. We collect supplier data and lease terms, run a parallel month, then switch over cleanly.
