This is a concise guide from RICS on best practices for Property Managers. It emphasises the key roles of managing commercial properties on behalf of landlords, including rent collection, service charge administration, and building management. The guide also highlights the importance of effective communication, legal compliance, and risk management in areas such as health and safety and tenant relations. Special sections address mixed-use developments, portfolio management, and offshore ownership.

Building safety culture has dominated change in our sector over recent years. To help managing agents consolidate their understanding of current requirements and best practice in health and safety we’ve created a comprehensive new guide for residential property managers on health and safety.

Working alone is not in itself against the law and it will often be safe to do so. However, the law requires Managing Agents to consider carefully, and then deal with, any health and safety risks for people working alone. Managing Agents are responsible for the health, safety and welfare at work of all their workers. They also have responsibility for the health and safety of any contractors or self-employed people doing work for them. These responsibilities cannot be transferred to any other person, including those people who work alone.
