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

includes developers, freeholders, corporate landlords, and housing associations.
