Ex-Labour minister Sally Keeble to keep property managers honest

July 28, 2016 By

SallyKeebleFormer New Labour minister Sally Keeble is to be the new ARMA regulator, after former housing minister Rt Hon Keith Hill, also a minister in the Blair governments, quits in November.

Sally Keeble will chair the Regulatory Panel, which oversees ARMA members and determines disciplinary outcomes of cases involving member firms.

ARMA says:

“As a government minister Sally had responsibility for social exclusion and housing and has enjoyed a varied and highly successful career in senior positions, including council leader of the London Borough of Southwark.

“As a minister Sally took the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 through Parliament, and most recently held a senior role in international development.”

Mr Hill said: “The calibre of applicants was exceptionally high and Sally is expertly placed to take over a role which is crucial for the standing and integrity of the independent status of the Panel.”

Sally Keeble will take up the appointment in November 2016 when Mr Hill stands down after three years in the role.

Managing agents

Big managing agents, which manage flats, are big because they have got business from developers or large-scale freehold owing companies.

Such as Proxima or Fairhold, which are administered through Estates and Management and are ultimately controlled by a trust in the British Virgin Islands.

Doubtless they are very obliging.

Not a single one is big through consumer choice.

Managing agents accredited to the Leasehold Knowledge Partnership, on the other hand, want business from leaseholders. Many are former leaseholders. Many have spoken at our Parliamentary meetings urging politicians to clean up the sector.

All have signed undertakings of good practice and have provided extensive references … from leaseholders.

They can also hand-hold leaseholders through right to manage at minimal cost.

    I wish Sally well in her new endeavors.
    Perhaps a more relevant qualification for her new role would have been if she had ever held a Spud-U-Like franchise, as she will soon find herself mired in the hot potato that is the Peverel/Firstport issue?
