ARHM Code of Practice

Code of practice image

The ARHM Code of Practice for England, which was approved by the Government under the Leasehold, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, aims to promote best practice in the management of leasehold retirement housing, regardless of whether the services are provided by private companies or housing associations.  It not only sets out the statutory obligations that apply to the management of leasehold properties, but also sets out additional requirements which should be followed as a matter of good practice. 

The Code of Practice forms a benchmark for Leasehold Valuation Tribunals in the exercise of their role in relation to the management of retirement leasehold properties.  This makes the code an extremely useful source of reference for managers, and also for leaseholders as it provides clarification around the level of service they can expect to receive.
