What is a Managing Agent?

A Managing Agent is a company employed by the owner of a building or land, that looks after shared or communal areas in a building or on a neighbourhood. This can include

  • Shared hallways and stairwells
  • Communal gardens and green spaces
  •  Parking areas
  • Private roads, that are not maintained by the council
  • Communal repairs and maintenance.

You will see this described as 'Third-party managing agent' on your service charge statement. We pay the Manging Agents and then recover these costs from you in your service charge.

If you have queries or issues in relation to the services provided to you, please contact us in the first instance and we will liaise with the managing agent responsible on your behalf.

For more information about our approach to engaging and managing third-party agents, you can read our Third-Party Building Management Policy.

This policy looks at building management only. It does not include the management of communal grounds or open neighbourhood spaces. For information about those areas, please see Neighbourhood Management policy
