Management of client account closure

by AndrewDod

I suppose this belongs in this forum but is more general.

Let's suppose a managing agent for a RTM holds client accounts a) service charge b) reserve fund. They are held in trust but the account manager is the agent.

Manager's contract comes to an end and is not renewed. Can...

The need for certification seems to stop us replacing hopelessly dangerous plastic doors with much better solid firedoors that may not be perfectly fitted!

Fire doors as front doors to flats

by Codger

Some leaseholders have installed front doors that have upvc frames and glass panels. It is likely to be mentioned in a fire risk assessment for the block so I wonder what we can do to enforce a recommendation to install firedoors.

Reply to Fire doors as front doors to flats

by Jericho

We (self-managing RMC) asked our solicitor to give their interpretation as flat entrance doors are not mentioned in the 1960s lease. Initially they came back to say they thought the leaseholder would be responsible based on demise of internal half of walls dividing flat from common areas. When pressed...

leak

by JackBluebird

Hi I have experienced a leak to my apartment and the apartment below has also experienced the same issue (the video evidence is very similar (water coming in through an extractor vent into my bathroom)).

I had a contractor out to assess my property who said there was no leak from my apartment...

Water coming through an extractor fan - had that issue before.

How much water is coming through?

Is it perhaps extracted condensation not fully leaving the pipe due to too weak a extractor fan?

A more powerful extractor resolved the issue we had.

Rtm

by mags69

Hi

Can anyone tell me whether the value of a flat is adversely affected if the development is self managed by an RTM? I've been told that the value is reduced by 35% and I would not be able to get a mortgage. Thanks

Off hand I can only think of a flat having a very short lease that might affect a property’s value to such a degree.

I think a flat managed by rtm company might increase its saleability.
