Do managing agents need to be licensed in the UK?

Currently no mandatory licensing exists for residential managing agents in England. However, the Regulation of Property Agents (RoPA) working group has recommended mandatory licensing, and the LFRA 2024 created powers to introduce it — implementation is expected by 2027–2028. In the meantime, CMP scheme membership is mandatory, and managing agents of HRBs must be registered with the BSR.

Can leaseholders dismiss a managing agent?

Yes, through two routes. First, via FTT appointment of a manager under LTA 1987 Part II if the managing agent has breached their obligations. Second, by exercising the Right to Manage under CLRA 2002 — the RTM company then appoints a new managing agent of its choice.

What is a Section 20 consultation and when is it required?

Under LTA 1985 s.20, a managing agent must consult leaseholders before entering into a qualifying long-term agreement (over 12 months) or carrying out qualifying works where the cost to any individual leaseholder exceeds £250. Failure to consult limits recovery to £250 per leaseholder unless the Tribunal grants dispensation.

What must a managing agent do under BSA 2022 for a non-higher-risk building?

For buildings under 18 metres / 7 storeys, the PAP regime does not apply. However, the managing agent still has obligations under the Fire Safety Order 2005 (as amended): commissioning and reviewing a fire risk assessment, ensuring fire doors meet the required standard, and maintaining emergency systems and records accessible to residents and the fire service.
