Compliance That Holds Up to Scrutiny

Leasehold compliance has changed significantly since 2022, and the obligations now sitting with freeholders, RMCs and RTM directors are real. Getting this wrong carries genuine liability - our job is to make sure it is documented, current and defensible.

What's Covered

Four areas of obligation that sit with every freeholder, RMC and RTM company - we carry the day-to-day work behind each.

Fire Safety & Fire Risk Assessments

Fire risk assessments carried out by competent assessors and reviewed on schedule, with actions tracked to completion rather than filed away. Alarm, emergency lighting and extinguisher servicing kept on a live calendar.

Building Safety Act 2022

For higher-risk buildings we support Accountable Persons and Principal Accountable Persons with registration, the safety case, resident engagement strategies and the golden thread of building information.

Health & Safety and EWS1

Communal health and safety risk assessments, asbestos registers, legionella and water hygiene, lift and electrical inspections. Where external wall reviews or EWS1 forms are needed, we coordinate the surveys and hold the documentation for lenders.

Insurance & Lease Compliance

Buildings insurance placed and renewed with the right cover and sums insured, claims handled on your behalf, and lease terms enforced consistently and fairly across the block.

Every Check Logged, Every Action Tracked

A fire risk assessment or a servicing visit is only useful if what it finds actually gets fixed. We keep a live record of every inspection, test and remedial action across a block - alarms, emergency lighting, extinguishers, communal electrics - so nothing is quietly forgotten about.

If a lender, insurer or resident ever asks for evidence a building is being looked after properly, we can produce it immediately rather than scrambling through old emails.

Regulated, Insured and Accountable

As part of the Bernards Property Group we hold membership of Propertymark and the Ombudsman scheme, both of which uphold the highest professional standards, and we carry professional indemnity and client money protection insurance so clients are fully protected.

Compliance FAQs

Who is responsible for fire risk assessments in a block of flats?+
The responsible person - usually the freeholder, RMC or RTM company - must ensure a suitable fire risk assessment is carried out and kept up to date. As your managing agent, we commission competent assessors and track every resulting action to completion.
What is the Building Safety Act 2022 and does it affect my block?+
The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced new duties for higher-risk buildings (generally 18m or 7+ storeys with multiple residential units), including Accountable Person registration and a 'golden thread' of building safety information. We assess whether it applies to your block and support the duties it creates.
Do you arrange buildings insurance?+
Yes - we place and renew buildings insurance with appropriate cover and sums insured, and handle claims on your behalf. Insurance costs and the policy details are included in your service charge reporting.
What is an EWS1 form and when is one needed?+
An EWS1 form is an external wall survey used by lenders to assess fire safety risk on certain buildings, usually relevant to valuations and mortgages. Where one is required, we coordinate the survey and hold the resulting documentation.
