Using a managing agent
The contract or management agreement
You could ask your solicitor to draw up a contract for you. Alternatively agents use one of several models developed by the relevant professional bodies that cover most situations and can be adapted by you.
- ARMA has a model management agreement in plain English that its members use.
- RICS has a model agreement that can be purchased by the public.
- ARHM has a model management agreement in plain English that its members use.
