RICS Service Charge Residential Management Code

Now in its second edition, the management code is the standard which details the duties of a Managing Agent. In the absence of an industry regulator, compliance with this code is the only way of ensuring a comprehensive service.

It should be noted that the code is only applicable to leasehold properties. However, it is generally adopted for all properties where a service charge is applicable.

Most managing agents will say they have adopted the management code. It is worth checking if the person you are dealing with knows what it contains; Many have never even seen it!

All agents are not equal...  

As managing agents are not regulated, it is not difficult to open shop as an Agent. In fact, the number of new agents has increased in recent years as estate and letting agents have expanded their portfolio of services in order to stay solvent through the recession. These organisations are not specialist managing agents. Can they keep on top of legislation? Are they really focussed on Managing your development with the attention to detail that you would wish for your home?
