Welcome to our July issue of Flat Living Magazine!

This month, we're focusing on major works and service charges. Our contributors explore everything from reserve and sinking funds to the ways building safety has transformed the major works process and more!

Visit page 7 where Residentsline break down the latest updates on the Renters' Rights Act, and page 9 where 4site Consulting reflect on developments in building safety over the past 20 years.

In our latest lifestyle features, discover tips on how to transform your apartment balcony into a beautiful green retreat and learn how to enjoy apartment living with pets while maintaining harmony with neighbours.

In our news section, you’ll find a summary of last month’s ACE Awards ceremony, along with an important letter from End Our Cladding Scandal (EOCS) raising concerns about the risk of overheating in residential buildings currently undergoing building safety remediation works.

As always, we have included training opportunities from The Property Institute and job vacancies from Block Recruit to help you upskill or move on to new pastures.
