Welcome to our October issue of Flat Living Magazine!

As the colder months approach, we take a closer look at maintenance, repairs and cleaning. Our contributors share practical advice on preparing your buildings for autumn and winter, alongside insights into lift maintenance and managing out-of-hours repairs.

Our latest lifestyle features offer tips for decorating safely this Halloween, navigating trick-or-treating etiquette and keeping the winter blues at bay.

In our news section, you’ll find commentary from ALEP on forfeiture, along with details on how to submit your nominations for this year’s PM50 Awards.

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.
