ARMA's Objectives

ARMA was founded in 1991 with the aim of bringing together professionals involved in residential block management.

Its principal objectives are to...

...promote the highest standards of management.

...create and maintain an awareness amongst property owners, developers, residents as well as national and local government of the proper role of - and indeed the need for - residential managing agents.

...provide a forum where members involved in the management of residential blocks of flats can discuss and develop management practices to enhance service to clients and lessees.

...fix and endeavour to maintain consistent standards of practice amongst members in an otherwise unregulated market.

ARMA's Standards
