Made for resident-managed buildings

SavvyPlace gives directors and residents the tools they need to run their building together.

  • One fee, whole building
    A £145/year subscription covers every resident and director (up to 250 members) — no per-person charges, no hidden tiers.
  • Stay on top of compliance
    Automatic reminders for fire risk assessments, EICR, annual accounts, and Companies House filings.
  • Decide together
    Plain-English voting, shared documents, and transparent finances everyone in the building can trust.

Everything your building needs, in one place

No more chasing contractors on WhatsApp, losing documents in email, or missing a compliance deadline.

  • Maintenance tracking
    Residents report issues with photos. Directors assign jobs to contractors, track costs, and close out the work.
  • Clear voting
    Propose decisions, collect votes, and see transparent results with plain-English thresholds — no legal jargon.
  • Document library
    Keep leases, insurance, meeting minutes, and accounts in one secure, searchable place.
  • Discussion threads
    Talk through building matters in one place, instead of fragmented WhatsApp groups and email chains.
  • Compliance reminders
    Configurable reminders for fire testing, gas safety, EICR, insurance renewal, and Companies House deadlines.
  • Transparent finances
    Track service charges, contractor costs, and reserves. Residents see exactly where every pound goes.

How it works

Three steps from signing up to running your building together.

  1. Step 1:

    Register your building

    The lead director signs up with your building name, address, number of units, and (optionally) your Companies House number.

  2. Step 2:

    Invite your residents

    Send email invitations to fellow directors and residents. They join your private building portal with one click.

  3. Step 3:

    Start managing

    Raise maintenance issues, hold votes, share documents, and let SavvyPlace handle the reminders you always forget.

Savvy the Seal, SavvyPlace's AI assistant
What’s a Section 20 notice?
It’s the formal consultation your RTM company must run before committing to major works over a set cost — so every leaseholder who pays towards them gets a say before the money is spent. There are set stages and timescales, so it’s worth reading the official guidance before you start.

Is SavvyPlace right for your building?

SavvyPlace is designed for buildings whose residents want transparency, control, and lower costs.

  • You're a leaseholder in a residential building in England or Wales.
  • Your building has acquired (or is acquiring) the Right to Manage.
  • You're registered (or planning to register) as a company at Companies House.
  • You or a fellow director can dedicate a few hours a month to building matters.
Not sure if Right to Manage is for you?
If your building hasn’t acquired Right to Manage yet, these independent resources explain the process and help you check whether your building qualifies.

The maths

Work out what your block could save.

Drag the sliders to match your building. SavvyPlace replaces the managing-agent fee on your service charge — not your insurance, repairs, or compliance work.

The numbers here are your own — enter the management fee from your service-charge statement (the amount including VAT), and we subtract SavvyPlace’s £145 a year. We don’t rely on a market average. If your statement shows one figure for the whole building, divide it by the number of flats.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions residents ask most.

What is Right to Manage?
Right to Manage is a statutory right in England and Wales, under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, that lets qualifying leaseholders take over management of their building from the freeholder — without needing to prove fault.
Do I need to have acquired Right to Manage before signing up?
No. You can start using SavvyPlace while you're still working through the Right to Manage process. If you're not sure whether your building qualifies, try the short questionnaire above or check the LEASE guidance.
I'm a leaseholder but I don't live in the building — can I still take part?
Yes — and it works well. Leaseholders who don't live in the building stay fully in the loop: vote on decisions, see the finances, and track works from anywhere. You get the same access as every other member, wherever you live.
Do we have to get rid of our managing agent to use SavvyPlace?
No. Many buildings use SavvyPlace alongside their existing agent — to track maintenance in one place, share documents, hold votes, and keep clear oversight of what's happening in the block. Going agent-free through Right to Manage is where the biggest savings are, but it's a destination, not a requirement.
Who pays the subscription?
A director pays on the building's behalf — one £145/year payment covers everyone in the building, with no per-person charges.
What happens after the free trial?
The trial runs for 30 days with full features, no card needed. If you don't subscribe, your data stays exportable for 30 days before it's automatically deleted.
How is my data protected?
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest, hosted in the UK/EU, and processed under UK GDPR. See the privacy policy for the full breakdown of what we collect, why, and how long we keep it.

Where SavvyPlace works

Right to Manage is a statutory right that applies only in England and Wales — it doesn’t extend to Scotland or Northern Ireland. The rest of SavvyPlace — maintenance tracking, voting, documents, discussions, and finances — is designed to work for any self-managed residential building across the UK. Some compliance reminders are specific to England and Wales.

Secure by design

Strong security isn't an optional extra. Two-factor authentication, encryption at every layer, and UK-based hosting come as standard.

  • Two-factor authentication
    Available on every account — choose an authenticator app or SMS code for an extra layer of protection at sign-in.
  • Encryption in transit and at rest
    All connections use HTTPS/TLS. Database rows and document storage are encrypted at rest, so your building's files and finances stay private.
  • UK-hosted, UK GDPR compliant
    Your building's data is hosted in the UK and EU. Data minimisation, retention limits, and your right to erasure are built in.

We follow industry-standard security practices and review our controls regularly. For the full detail, see our privacy policy.
