Everything you need to
confidently manage your
service charge accounts.

We specialise in helping managing agents and landlords to navigate the accounting nuances of service charge accounting to comply with the legal framework and lease requirements.

Managing service charge accounts is a critical yet complex responsibility for landlords, resident management companies, property managers, and property investment companies.

As scrutiny around service charges increases, so does the pressure on managing agents to provide transparent and independently reviewed accounts. These complexities are compounded by regulations under the Leasehold Reform, Landlord and Tenant Act, and the Housing and Urban Development 1993 Act and guidance from RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) for commercial properties.

Navigating this specialised area requires an expert, confident touch to ensure compliance with ever-evolving legislation like the Landlords and Tenants Agreement and the Property Institute, while maintaining cost-effectiveness and confident advice.

That’s where we come in.

As a landlord
or managing

need to know:

The service charge system is tightly regulated.

It’s hard to conﬁdently know if you’re compliant. You don’t want to risk being taken to a tribunal over confusing lease interpretations.

It’s vital to know who is accountable for what.

Directors, shareholders, and lessees have different legal and financial responsibilities.

Landlord companies must ﬁle annual accounts with Companies House

Ensuring these accounts are accurate and compliant is essential and requires expert assistance.

Landlord must provide appropriate service charge account to their lessees

Under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, landlords must provide detailed accounts to lessees in blocks with more than 4 units.

Commercial properties are bound by specific regulations set by RICS
