What you get.
Directors of a residents' or right to manage company are volunteers, and usually owners in the building. You are now responsible for a company, a building and other people's money. This is the order to find things out in.
- 1Week by week. Dated from today: you and the company, then the documents, then the money and safety.
- 2What to ask for. The lease, the agreement, the insurance, the accounts, the fire risk assessment, and why each matters.
- 3Your duties, in plain words. The seven things the law expects of any company director.
- 4Ten questions in writing, for your managing agent, or for your board if you manage yourselves.
- 5The year ahead. The filings and renewals that must not be missed.
Why it is free.
We are an Essex firm, and buildings are better run when the directors know what to ask. It costs nothing and it works whoever manages you, or if nobody does.
Where we stop.
The pack is general information, not legal advice, and it does not list every duty that could apply to your building. Where something in it worries you, take advice from a solicitor or accountant who works with management companies.
It is on its way.
Check your inbox, and your junk folder if it is not there in a few minutes. It comes from info@essexblockmanagement.co.uk with the PDF attached.
While you wait: what a residents' management company is responsible for.
Our free new director pack is for anyone who has just become a director of a residents' management company or RTM company: what the role involves, the company's filing duties, what the managing agent should be doing, and the first things to check in your first month.
Questions
What are the duties of a residents' management company director?
To act in the company's interests, keep its Companies House filings up to date, make decisions on the budget, repairs and insurance with the other directors, and oversee the managing agent. A good agent does the paperwork.
