This Bill would create an independent regulator to oversee managing agents who run the services for blocks of flats and other properties. It would require those agents to follow a code of practice and obtain a licence, with the regulator able to enforce standards. If passed, it would change how managing agents are supervised and could affect leaseholders, landlords and residents.
The bill is at the second reading in the House of Commons after having had its first reading. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage in the Commons and then on to the Lords for consideration.
