Service Charge Practice in 2021
Service charges are a frequent area for dispute between
tenants and their landlords. The emergence of the RICS Professional
Statement in 2019 now dictates the standards by which chartered surveyors are
expected to adhere, but since they form best practice, they will be seen as the
benchmark standard by the courts for everyone involved in the industry. How is the Code working in the marketplace, what lessons should practitioners
be reminded of, and what special considerations need to be focused upon due to
the disruption caused by a COVID world?

Understanding Commercial Property Management
Commercial leases are the foundation and essence of property management. Anyone who works in this area needs to be familiar with what they say, what they mean, and how to work them. In this course we explain the key commercial terms of a commercial lease, and focus on the problems the attending delegates have encountered. It is ideal for administrators who have not been trained in the nuances of property - also PA's, secretaries, accounts personnel, facilities managers, newly qualified and APC candidates.
