What do you see as the greatest challenges affecting you in this role?

Trust Taxation

The ARHM believes that there should be no tax at all. The Government passed a law to make managers hold funds in trust to protect them, not as a stealth tax device. At best we want the 20% rate for all leaseholders, not just in the social sector.

How do you plan to grow your Association?

The ARHM only operates in England & Wales at present. We are jointly exploring with the Property Managers Association of Scotland whether it would be helpful for the ARHM to be available in Scotland.

ARHM’s principal services and benefits include a monthly briefing newsletter relevant to leasehold management and older person’s housing; a members’ helpline desk for queries; regional forums; two annual conferences - summer and winter - and good practice notes.

What are the principal ways in which ARHM can improve the way property managers deliver their service to lessees?

Do you think there should be a recommended fee structure for ARHM managers?
No that would be anti-competitive.

Do you think that property management should be a regulated industry?

Are ARHM managers sufficiently trained and qualified? How can this be improved?
