Can we help with yourBlock Managementrequirements?
Hurford Salvi Carr Property Management Limited has achieved ARMA-Q accreditation – the new regulatory regime for residential leaseholder managing agents. ARMA-Q has been introduced by ARMA the industry’s trade body, in the absence of any statutory regulation, with the aim of pushing up standards of property management across the board.
Flat owners who use ARMA-Q accredited agents to manage their property will be guaranteed a number of safeguards including:
In your lease, you will see that the Landlord has to keep the whole building in good repair, but you and the other flat owners have to reimburse the costs of doing this. This is called a ‘Service Charge’. The Charge normally covers not only general maintenance and repairs, but also insurance of the building and possibly also maintaining lifts and pumps, lighting and cleaning of common areas, health & safety inspections and perhaps even the cost of a concierge if one is employed . The Service Charges may also include the costs of management by the landlord or by a professional managing agent, and they ought to include contributions to a reserve fund if the lease allows this.
