About UNLEASE
The Leasehold Imbalance
So we built the solution that didn't exist - the platform that puts leaseholders back in control.
Our Purpose
To give leaseholders lasting control over the homes they own.
Our Vision
Fair and efficient building management where leaseholders have lasting control.
Our Mission
To empower leaseholders with clarity, tools, and guidance to reduce unfair costs and take lasting control of their homes.
Our Story
“It started with an unjustified service charge demand and ended with legal threats, missing insurance funds, and the crushing feeling that backing down and paying up was the only option. Like thousands of leaseholders, I felt completely powerless - trapped in a system designed to work against me.
The turning point came when I stumbled across Right to Manage. Previously, I had no idea this option even existed. I started researching, navigating a process that felt deliberately complicated - but I was determined. After rallying my neighbours, in just over four months we took back control.
For the first time, we had complete visibility over every pound - and the power to make real improvements that increased the value of our homes.
The hardest part wasn't the process itself. It was doing it completely alone. I had no knowledge of the system, no step-by-step guidance, and no tools to help me take the next step. Every answer had to be discovered the hard way - hours of research and admin that could have been avoided. That's exactly what UNLEASE is here to change. Clear guidance through every leasehold scenario. Practical tools to save time and manage your block with confidence. Expert support when you need it most - so nobody has to figure this out alone.
That experience is the entire reason UNLEASE exists. Because no leaseholder should feel lost, powerless, or at the mercy of a system that wasn't built with them in mind. Once you know what's possible and have the right support behind you, the results are well within reach.”
“You have more rights and options than you know. We're here to help you solve your leasehold problems, whatever they may be.”

LEASEHOLDERS WHO TOOK ACTION
"This is the first time in six years of paying service charges that I actually understood what I was being charged for - and whether it was fair."
Dimitri, Leaseholder
West London
"UNLEASE gave us the evidence and the confidence to begin Right to Manage. Our neighbours didn't believe it was possible. It was."
Nick, Leaseholder and RTM Director
Manchester
"We identified £200 in potential annual savings per flat. The report has sparked interest for managing the block ourselves."
Janice, Leaseholder
Bristol
"Setting up our RTM Company has salvaged our block. We now know exactly where our service charges are being spent, no longer need to spend hours chasing the agent for outstanding works and have built a great community in the process."
Oliver, Leaseholder and RTM Director
Birmingham
"We were fed up with the endless disputes over costs charged to us for works that had never even been done. Attaining the right to manage meant that we could appoint our own agent that we trusted."
Artemis, Leaseholder and RTM Director
North London
"The freeholder had absolutely no interest in the block, he didn't even answer our emails, all he wanted was to receive the ground rent on time. Buying out the freehold means we no longer pay ground rent or report to the freeholder."
