Leasehold Block Management Platform: Built for UK Buildings, Not US HOAs
2 July 2026 · 6 min read
Search for block management software and most results are American: HOAs, condos, homeowners associations. UK leasehold is a different world — service charges, Section 20 consultations, RTM companies, managing agents, and EWS1 certificates. Generic community software does not understand any of this.
What UK leasehold blocks need
- Communication that works for leaseholders, not freeholders.
- Recorded votes that stand up if a decision is challenged.
- Document storage for buildings insurance, service charge accounts and fire safety certificates.
- Support for RMC and RTM company structures.
- Plain English, not American legal terminology.
What US HOA software gets wrong for UK blocks
- Dues collection features you do not need (your agent or RMC handles billing).
- Architectural review workflows irrelevant to a London mansion block.
- Pricing in dollars with US-only support.
- No concept of managing agents, Section 20 or leasehold law.
