Management Codes of Practice
Posted on 30th May at 02:03 PM
The Secretary of State has approved three Management Codes. Landlords and managing agents are expected to comply with codes.
Two of these codes are related to service charges and both emphasise the importance of consultation when introducing new services, modifying existing ones and undertaking major works. They are:
- Private Retirement Housing - Code of Practice - published by the Association of Retirement Housing Managers (February 2006) - http://www.arhm.org/home.php; and
- Service Charge Residential Management Code - published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (1997 - reprinted 2005 with addendum - and a revised edition to be published during 2007) http://www.ricsbooks.com/productInfo.asp?product_id=1964
