Welcome to the Federation of Private Residents’ Associations

√ Do you manage or want to manage your block/estate?

√  Do you want to buy the freehold of your block/estate?

√ Do you want to change the managing agent?

√ Are you having problems with service charges?

√ Are major works a headache for you?

√ Are there any other issues you need help with?

FPRA CAN HELP.
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.

Dear Members,

Thanks to your support and loyalty, an evolving online presence and our advertisers, the FPRA have had an excellent 2020/2021 financial year. However, this does now mean we have to register for VAT. Once registered (the registration date is 1st September 2021), we will have to add 20% VAT to your renewals, therefore increasing what you need to pay for your membership fees.

Flat Living Magazine, June edition

Welcome to the June Issue of Flat Living Magazine.
This month we’re focussed on all things RMC, RTM, Freeholder and BTR related. For one, we’ll make sure you know what all these acronyms stand for!

You’ll find articles covering the differences between exercising your right to manage and buying your freehold, things to consider before becoming the Director of an RMC and the importance of supporting self-managed developments. As always, we also have the latest property news and industry updates as well as job opportunities, dates for your diary (so many in-person events to look forward to!) and our go-to directories.

….

Happy reading!
