Who regulates UK property management companies?

In the UK, property management companies are primarily regulated by a combination of legislation and industry bodies. The key regulatory framework includes the Landlord and Tenant Act, the Housing Act, and the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act. Additionally, professional bodies such as the Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA) and the Institute of Residential Property Management (IRPM) provide guidelines and standards for best practices. However, there is no single regulatory body overseeing all property management companies, leading to variations in oversight across the sector.
