The Risks of Inadequate RMC Director Preparation

Serving as an RMC Director without proper understanding of your responsibilities can expose you to serious personal and financial consequences.

Common Compliance Failures:

  • Late filing of accounts and failure to maintain accurate Company records under the Companies Act 2006.
  • Missed fire safety checks or building defect repairs under the Building Safety Act 2022.
  • Poor financial oversight leading to budget shortfalls and legal disputes.
  • Neglect that impacts property values, community relationships and reputational damage of the RMC.
  • Lack of understanding around GDPR and the role of the RMC when managing personal data.

Our RMC Director training equips you with practical tools and confidence to stay compliant - helping you avoid severe consequences such as criminal prosecution, unlimited personal fines, and disqualification from serving as a director for up to 15 years.

Personal Liability Risks

  • As an RMC Director, you have legal duties under the Companies Act 2006, failing to meet these obligations could result in personal liability.
  • Breaches, such as late filing of accounts, failure to maintain accurate company records, or non-compliance with health and safety requirements (including building and fire safety) - may lead to criminal prosecution.
  • Directors can also face unlimited personal fines and even disqualification from serving as a director for up to 15 years.

Building Safety Compliance

  • With the Building Safety Act 2022, RMC Directors of high-rise buildings face increased accountability. Failure to maintain adequate fire safety measures, complete mandatory inspections, or rectify building defects may result in enforcement action, significant fines, and, in severe cases, criminal prosecution if resident safety is compromised.

Financial Consequences

  • Poor financial management or inadequate oversight of service charge funds can result in budget shortfalls, unexpected levies on residents, and potential legal action.
  • Directors may be held personally liable for financial losses arising from negligence or breach of fiduciary duty, particularly if company funds are mismanaged or contracts are poorly negotiated.

Reputational and Community Impact

  • Inadequate management can result in deteriorating property conditions, declining property values, and strained community relationships. Poor decisions or failure to act on critical maintenance can lead to prolonged disputes among residents and undermine the harmonious environment you aim to protect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be paid for being a Resident Management Company Director?

No, the role is voluntary. It is a wonderful opportunity to have a say in how your development is run and to make decisions about where you live.

Could I be prosecuted if something goes wrong?

Our company secretarial experts ensure that the company complies with its obligations to Companies House.

Directors and Officers Insurance also covers directors for any acts undertaken in good faith while carrying out the role. As a director, you can request legal advice when dealing with any matter for which they feel is necessary.

We offer bespoke training solutions to make sure you remain fully compliant.

Do I need any previous experience or qualifications to be a director?

You do not need previous experience or qualifications. While knowledge of accounting, law or property management is an advantage, it is more important to have a passion for looking after the place where you live. 

Is there an age limit?

There is no statutory upper age limit for directors in England and Wales, although there is a minimum age of 16. Some company articles may have an upper age limit.

How much time do I need to fulfil my role as a director?

The amount of time will depend on the size and complexity of the development and the number of fellow directors who take on the role.

Your property manager is there to handle the day to day running of the business so the extent to which you are involved is up to you.

Do we have to hold an AGM for our company?

Private companies are not required to hold an AGM unless required to do so by the company articles.

However, you may wish to consider whether it is good practice to hold one, even if it is not a requirement.

How often do I need to attend board meetings?

Board meetings should be held as often as necessary for the efficient running of the company.

Do I have to live on site?

No, if you satisfy the criteria for becoming a director, then you do not have to live on site.
