Where UK block directors should start with compliance
A short orientation of LAFRA, Section 20, the Building Safety Act, strike-off, reserves, and the FTT.
LAFRA 2024 — Standardised Service Charge Demands
If the demand is not in the prescribed template, it is legally non-payable — and can trigger FTT damages of up to £5,000 per invalid demand.
Read the guideBuilding Safety Act 2022 — Accountable Person Obligations
If your RMC or RTM manages a higher-risk building, the board may already be an Accountable Person — with Golden Thread duties and criminal sanctions for getting it wrong.
Read the guideSection 20 LTA 1985 — Major Works Consultation
Miss a consultation stage and recoverability collapses to £250 per contributing leaseholder — regardless of what the works actually cost.
Read the guideRMC Directors' Legal Duties — Companies Act 2006
You are a company director, even if nobody briefed you. Filing, accounts, and the general duties sit with the board — an agent does not take them away.
Read the guideCompanies House Strike-Off Risk — Bona Vacantia
Miss the confirmation statement or accounts and the Registrar can strike the company off. Conveyancing for every flat then stops until restoration.
Read the guideMajor Works Reserve Fund Planning
A thin reserve looks like a low annual charge — until the roof fails and the block is forced into an emergency Section 20 bill.
Read the guideFirst-tier Tribunal — Service Charge Disputes
Section 27A applications usually follow years of delayed accounts and unexplained invoices. Live ledgers and valid demands are how boards stay out of that room.
Read the guideEWS1 and Lender Requirements
Missing or outdated external-wall evidence can stop a sale or remortgage even when day-to-day management looks calm. Boards discover the gap at exchange.
Read the guideCompliance questions
Short answers. The statute pages do the detail.
Who is the Compliance Hub for?
RMC directors, RTM companies, and professional managing agents who need the statute, the duty, and the first check — not a legal textbook.
Is this legal advice?
No. These pages are operational briefings. Your lease, articles, and a qualified adviser decide what you must do in a specific building.
Where should a board start?
Start with the duty that is live this week: invalid LAFRA demands, a Section 20 window, BSA Accountable Person evidence, or a Companies House filing. Each card names the statute.
How does Residentive help after you read the guide?
ProperSuite records the work: live ledgers, demand format, consultation workflow, and Golden Thread evidence. Start with a free ProperAudit™ if you need the accounts first.
