Block Management Software for RMCs and RTM Companies

Directors of resident management companies sit in an awkward spot: legally responsible for the building, usually volunteers, and often doing the job with WhatsApp and a shared inbox. Enterprise block management software exists, but it is priced and designed for professional managing agents — not a twenty-flat RMC in Croydon.

What RMC directors need from software

• Communicate with all leaseholders without relying on a chat group.
• Run recorded votes on works, budgets and contractor appointments.
• Store and share company documents: minutes, accounts, insurance.
• Onboard new members when flats are sold.
• Keep a clear audit trail for company law and leaseholder disputes.

What RMCs usually do not need

• Full service charge accounting (your accountant handles this).
• Multi-site dashboards for a portfolio of buildings.
• Complex compliance modules designed for large managing agents.
• Software that costs more than the managing agent fee you are trying to avoid.

The gap in the market

Between free WhatsApp and £5,000-a-year enterprise software, there is a clear gap: affordable, purpose-built tools for volunteer-run RMCs. That is the space CommonCouncil was designed for.
