• Residents' Management Companies (RMCs) for leasehold or share of freehold blocks — self-managed or agent-managed

• Any accountant who prepares service charge accounts for blocks managed with Thrive — accountant subscriptions are free.

If your experience with managing agents hasn't been ideal, self-management with Thrive makes it easy to take charge and cut out the middleman. Thrive streamlines leasehold bureaucracy allowing you to take control and manage your block of flats directly. Self-managing your block with Thrive, you can:

•   Get financial transparency on service charge income & expenditure, and rest easy knowing that your service charge money isn't being wasted.
•   Get repairs done the way you want, fast, and at a reasonable cost using your own contractors.
•   Arrange insurance and reinstatement cost assessments (RCAs) yourself, giving you peace of mind that your block has not been under-insured, and that the premium you've paid is competitive.
•   Tackle neglected Health & Safety and Fire Risk issues at your block, so that you and your family are safe, and your legal obligations as a director are met.*
• *If a managing agent is negligent in health and safety or fire risk management, RMC and RTM directors may still be held personally accountable and could face prosecution for related offenses, including criminal negligence in serious cases.

If you want to continue with a managing agent — whether because you're completely satisfied or still weighing up self-management — Thrive helps you streamline administration of your RMC or RTM company, maintain accurate records, and oversee your agent's performance with full transparency. Through Thrive's step-by-step tutorials, you'll gain the confidence and knowledge to understand leasehold management, making self-management a genuine possibility for the future. And if you decide to take that step, you can upgrade at any time to a fully featured self-management subscription.

•   Stay organised and compliant — automatic reminders, learn-as-you-go tutorials, and dashboards help directors keep on top of statutory filings, insurance renewals, and health & safety obligations.
•   Keep everything in one place — securely store and share your company records, accounts, meeting minutes, key documents, and contractor details — all easy to find when you need them.
•   Maintain oversight and transparency — monitor compliance, insurance, and key management activities, and oversee your managing agent's performance.

If you prepare service charge accounts for RMCs and RTM companies, Thrive makes your job easier by giving you direct access to your clients' financial records and simplifying the process of preparing accounts.

•   Using a single free subscription, use Thrive's accounting features to prepare service charge accounts with direct access to each block's financial records.
•   Grow your client base. Once approved, any block manager on Thrive can select you as their accountant.
•   No commission payable — you set your own fees and invoice clients directly.
•   No limit on the number of blocks that can select you as their accountant.
•   Add any number of employees/colleagues as users on your subscription at no cost to assist with the preparation of accounts.
•   View your clients' ledger (bank transactions, invoices, etc.) to prepare service charge accounts
•   Download supporting receipts, service charge invoices, and bank statement scans directly from Thrive
•   Export client data to CSV files (for example, to import into Excel)
•   Upload completed service charge accounts and other documents (for your client to securely download at their convenience)

If you run an RMC or RTM company, you'll get your first 12 months free. The free trial gives you access to all Thrive features and subscription levels — from small blocks to larger portfolios of up to 10,000 properties. Once it ends, your property limit will depend on your subscription level, which you can upgrade at any time.

If you're an accountant, your subscription to Thrive is completely free — forever.

If you haven't managed a block before, don't worry, Thrive will offer the information and guidance you need with in depth tutorials and links to web resources.

You can invite others to join your subscription. The number of users you can add depends on your subscription level. Two types of users can be added:

• Block Managers – add colleagues who help manage the block (limit depends on subscription level).
• Leaseholders – give owners access to view their own property details via the Leaseholder Portal add-on (extra monthly fee applies).

Management expenses are an allowed service charge expenditure in most leases, so you shouldn't personally have to pay Thrive's monthly fee out of your own pocket. Instead, your RMC / RTM Company can either reimburse you for the fee, or pay it directly. Thrive is available as a fully-featured free trial for the first 12 months. After this trial period, full-featured subscriptions start at just £/month, no contract, cancel any time.
