Trusted property management for your development

As a resident management company (RMC), your role is to ensure residents have a comfortable, safe, and well-maintained environment. However, managing a residential property comes with many responsibilities, from overseeing finances and compliance to coordinating maintenance and handling resident communications.

With Red Brick Management by your side, your RMC gains an experienced team who can tackle the complexities of property management and ensure your development operates smoothly.

Understanding the needs of a residents management company

Resident management companies play a central role in the upkeep of residential properties, from organising repairs and maintenance to ensuring financial stability and compliance with laws and regulations. Without the right support, managing these responsibilities can become time-consuming and challenging for RMC members, who often have other commitments.

At Red Brick Management, we understand the unique needs and challenges of resident management companies. We work closely with each RMC to develop a tailored approach that meets the specific needs of their development. Our experience enables us to address common residents management company problems efficiently, with a proactive approach that keeps your property in top condition and your residents satisfied.

Key problems faced by resident management companies

The directors of a residents management company play a crucial role in managing and maintaining the building. They are responsible for ensuring the building is well-maintained and safe, and that all services provided meet the obligations set out in the lease. RMC directors are also accountable for compliance with various statutory requirements, including health and safety regulations, financial accountability, and proper governance of the RMC.

However, the scope and complexity of these responsibilities can often be challenging for RMC directors to manage on their own, especially with changing regulations and the time commitment required.

Here are some of the common issues resident management companies face:

  • Financial management: Maintaining accurate records, managing service charges, and planning for future expenses can be complex, especially for larger developments. Mismanagement of finances can lead to budget shortfalls or unexpected charges for residents.
  • Legal and compliance obligations: From health and safety regulations to fire risk assessments, RMCs are responsible for staying up-to-date with changing legal requirements. Non-compliance can result in costly penalties or jeopardise resident safety.
  • Maintenance and repairs: Organising regular maintenance and dealing with urgent repairs requires a network of trusted contractors and efficient coordination. Neglecting maintenance can lead to more significant, costly issues over time.
  • Resident communication: Effective communication with residents is essential to maintain a positive living environment. Many RMCs find it challenging to handle resident queries and concerns while keeping everyone informed about property-related decisions.

A professional managing agent can alleviate much of this burden, assuming responsibility for day-to-day management, ensuring compliance, and providing guidance to help the RMC meet its obligations. Our team work alongside residential management companies and their directors to help them navigate these responsibilities, ensuring they can fulfil their duties effectively without being overwhelmed.

How to elect a managing agent for your residential management company

Selecting the right managing agent is an important decision for any residential management company, as the choice of agent will significantly impact the property’s governance, financial stability, and long-term value. 

The decision rests with the RMC directors, who have a duty to act in the best interests of residents and the development itself. An effective managing agent not only handles the practical aspects of management but also supports the RMC directors in decision-making, governance, and resident engagement.

When choosing a managing agent for your property, it’s important for RMC directors to consider factors such as experience, transparency, and communication style. A trusted managing agent, like Red Brick Management, provides open and honest communication with both the RMC directors and residents, ensuring everyone is informed and engaged. Good governance requires not only clear reporting but also regular updates on property matters and legal requirements, which we provide as part of our commitment to transparency and accountability.

Our approach is collaborative, working closely with RMC directors to help them make informed decisions that align with their goals for the development. We also assist with future planning, whether it’s budgeting for maintenance and repairs or ensuring compliance with new legislation. By partnering with an experienced managing agent, resident management companies can ensure the long-term success and stability of their development.

What Clients Say...

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all at Red Brick Management, not only have you been first class in understanding our needs you've also been a pleasure to work with.
We Directors sat and had a meeting about the development last night and the guys are extremely happy with how Red Brick are managing the development. In particular, the lowering of service charges and quick response times which were the two issues we had with our former managing agent!
Well done that is a great result and sets a precedent for any further monies that may be due. thank you very much indeed for a great job on our behalf.
We were unimpressed with our previous management company and decided to give Red Brick a trial period with strict targets to meet - relating to response times, costings, and general maintenance of the development of 238 apartments.
