WE WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AND HELP SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS

The Federation of Private Residents’ Associations are a not-for-profit lease advice, support and lobbying organisation for private residential leaseholders, tenants’ and residents’ associations, Residential Management Companies and Flat Management Companies.

We are the national voice of residents’ associations and are frequently consulted by government. Our leasehold advisory services are free to members, who pay an annual subscription fee.

The Federation of Private Residents’ Associations (FPRA) is an independent organisation.   It does not endorse or recommend any products, service providers or companies.

The FPRA is able to offer its members specialist legal, insurance, management and building guidance. We represent and understand the interests of leaseholders seeking to set up a tenants’ association, existing tenants associations (recognised or not) and resident management companies.

We publish a quarterly newsletter for members, as well as information guides and booklets, and keep members informed about current issues and events affecting leaseholders.

Flat Living Magazine, June edition

Welcome to the June Issue of Flat Living Magazine. In our June issue of Flat Living Magazine we are featuring Listed and Historic Buildings as we’ve been receiving lots of questions about the implications of these.

We take a look at what it means to be listed, common questions, the legalities around them, as well as insurance considerations, making sure they are correctly valued and more.

Looking at the recent IRPM & ARMA Survey in wellbeing survey we get advice on how we can protect employee mental health, and then look at how we can help residents who are considering being involved in their RMC.
