Running a successful private residents' association is
certainly not without its share of difficulties. While the
directors of your association may have knowledge or expertise in
certain areas, you will be all too aware that leasehold legislation
is a complex area and expert advice and opinion can be costly and
hard to come by.
A helpful resource is the Federation of Private Residents'
Associations (FPRA) which is 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. It
is the national voice of residents' associations and is
frequently consulted by government. In addition, it represents and
understands the interests of leaseholders seeking to set up a
tenants' association, existing tenants' associations
(recognised or not) and residential management companies.
