If you search for ARMA or IRPM, you’ll now find The Property Institute (TPI) — the unified voice of the UK’s residential property management profession. This unification strengthens our collective expertise and enables us to set new standards across the sector, representing residential managing agents throughout England, Scotland, and Wales.

The Voice of the UK Residential Management Profession

TPI is a trusted and credible authority, committed to driving positive change for our members’ clients, and residents. We are dedicated to raising standards, promoting best practice, and shaping a more professional, and brighter future for the residential property management industry.

Why Choose An Accredited TPI Member To Be Your Managing Agent?

In the UK, the residential leasehold sector is currently not regulated, therefore, anyone can act as a Managing Agent and handle service charges and maintain buildings without qualifications, safety knowledge or expertise.

Therefore, choosing an accredited TPI company member to be your Managing Agent means protection for your property and your money, ensuring the highest standards of service and professionalism.
