Home/Services/Resident management companies

Resident management companies

You own the freehold or hold the management company. We handle the running of it — so being a director doesn't become a second job.

Support for leaseholder-owned companies

Being an RMC director is an unpaid role with real legal duties attached. Most people take it on because nobody else would, then discover it involves company filings, statutory consultations, insurance renewals and neighbours knocking on the door about the bins.

We take the operational and administrative load off the board, while leaving decisions firmly where they belong — with the directors.

What's included

  • Full block and estate management as standard
  • Company secretarial support, including Companies House filings and the confirmation statement
  • AGMs arranged, minuted and properly noticed
  • Board meeting papers circulated in advance, with clear recommendations
  • Directors' and officers' insurance arranged where the company doesn't hold it
  • Share and membership register maintenance on transfer of a flat
  • Guidance on directors' duties and where liability actually sits
  • Budget modelling so the board can see the effect of decisions before making them
  • A single point of contact for residents, so directors stop being the complaints desk

How it works

What happens, in order.

  1. 01

    Review

    We look at the company's filing history, accounts, lease structure and current arrangements, and tell you what needs attention.

  2. 02

    Appointment

    The board appoints us under a management agreement with a defined scope, fee and notice period.

  3. 03

    Catch-up

    Anything overdue — filings, consultations, compliance, reserve fund planning — gets brought current in the first quarter.

  4. 04

    Steady state

    Regular board reporting, a properly run AGM, and directors who can serve without it consuming their evenings.

Questions

Things people ask us.

Do the directors lose control?

No. We act on the board's instructions and within the management agreement. Decisions about spending, contractors and priorities remain the board's.

What are directors actually liable for?

Directors of an RMC carry the usual company law duties, and the company carries the lease obligations. It's worth getting specific advice for your structure — we'll flag where we think you need it, but we're not a substitute for a solicitor.

Can you help if our filings are overdue?

Yes, and it's more common than you'd think. We'll bring the position up to date and explain what any late filing penalties are likely to be.

We're a small block. Are we too small for you?

No. Smaller developments get the same inspection schedule and the same named manager as the large ones.

Unhappy with your current agent?

Send us your last service charge budget. We'll tell you honestly whether you're getting value — no obligation either way.
