ARMA is the leading trade association for residential leasehold management. WHAT WE DO ARMA was founded in 1991 to bring together professionals involved in private residential block management. We: Set high standards in residential block management Require our members to meet those standards Provide technical advice and guidance to our members Produce information and advice notes for leaseholders Run training courses on the leasehold system Promote professionalism in property management Campaign for improvements in relevant legislation and policy ARMA’S STANDARDS ARMA members work to high professional standards and must be part of an independent ombudsman scheme. They agree to comply with the RICS ‘Service Charge Residential Management Code’ and to abide by ARMA’s rules of membership. ARMA Accreditation (formerly known as ARMA-Q) is a real milestone for consumer protection in the residential leasehold sector. It is based on standards developed specifically for the leasehold property management sector and independent regulation. All ARMA members now have to comply with the Standards and a Consumer Charter. Find out more about ARMA Accreditation here. ABOUT OUR MEMBERS ARMA represents firms of managing agents. We do not represent individual property managers. Our members range from small family run businesses looking after a few blocks to national companies managing tens of thousands of flats across numerous developments. The types of buildings ARMA members manage can vary enormously in size and style; some are new build tower blocks, some are converted houses and others are purpose built mansion blocks dating back to the Twenties and Thirties. See benefits of becoming a Member here. OUR ASSOCIATES Associates are managing agents that are working towards becoming a Member, but do not yet meet the two-year trading rule, or who may have had their application for accreditation declined. This is a transitory category where maximum periods are set and they will either progress to Member, or if still not qualified to do so after the specified period, will no longer receive Member level benefits. OUR PARTNERS A partner is a company that is not directly involved in the block management of flats but whose services are essential for managing agents. This includes commercial service providers such as accountancy firms, solicitors, insurance, management services, debt collection etc. See benefits of becoming a Partner here ARMA NETWORK ARMA Network members are those not directly involved in the practice of residential block management or those who manages only their own portfolio of residential properties, and who wish to benefit from the technical support of ARMA.
