The problem

Self-management has never been more exposed.

RMC and RTM directors are now personally responsible for compliance against statutory regimes that have changed faster in the last three years than in the previous twenty. Most directors are doing this in evenings and weekends, with no professional support, and no idea where the gaps are.

Personal liability has expanded

The Building Safety Act 2022, Fire Safety Act 2021, PEEPs (from April 2026) and the Leasehold & Freehold Reform Act 2024 have all landed within a single Parliament. Directors can be personally fined or prosecuted for failures of compliance their predecessors would never have been asked to manage.

📚

The rulebook is enormous

EICR, asbestos, fire risk, water hygiene, lift LOLER, gas safety, RCA, insurance certification, accounts, Section 20, leaseholder rights notices. Each has its own validity period, format, and consequence for failure. Most directors do not know what they do not know.

£

Full management is overkill

A full managing agent charges £100 to £700 per unit per year - typically £5,000 to £30,000 annually for a small block - and bundles in operational control that self-managing directors actively want to keep. There is no in-between option. Until now.

Who this is for

Built for directors who already do most of this themselves.

Modbury Remote does not replace you. The Block Compliance Check gives you the same baseline visibility a full managing agent would have - so the decisions you are already making are made with the right information.

01

Self-managing RMC directors

You run your block on top of a day job. The admin is broadly under control, but compliance has crept up on you - and you are not sure what is overdue.

02

RTM company directors

You took over from a freeholder or managing agent and the records arrived in a state. You need an independent baseline, fast.

03

Share-of-freehold owners

The freehold sits with you and three or four neighbours. There is no formal management. You suspect you should be doing more.

04

Directors considering self-management

You are about to take management in-house from an outgoing agent and want to know what is actually involved before you sign.

05

Pre-purchase due diligence

You are buying into a small block. You want a professional read on what the next director will inherit before you commit.

06

Small managing agents

You manage two or three blocks. You want a second professional opinion on a specific building, without bringing in a competitor.

What you get

A complete compliance package. Yours to keep.

Not a dashboard. Not a subscription. Not an AI that emails your freeholder. A tangible, structured set of documents you can act on today, hand to a future director, or take to your next AGM.

Bespoke compliance register A live Google Sheet, formatted with conditional formatting for due dates, covering 25+ statutory and best-practice obligations against your specific building.
Written report with prioritised actions Plain English. What is in place. What is missing. What needs doing first. Numbered actions you can work through, not a 60-page PDF.
Full templates pack Section 20 notices, service charge budget template, AGM agenda, contractor brief, apportionment calculator, resident communications. The full set, ready to use.
Contractor shortlist (Tier 2 & 3) Three vetted contractors per obligation type, in your region where possible. We take no commission, no referral fee, no kickback from any of them.
30 days of email follow-up (Tier 2 & 3) One month of email-only Q&A on anything in the report. Use it to bottom out the next steps. After 30 days, you can re-engage on a per-query basis.
How it works

Four steps. Pay first. Slot secured.

No drawn-out onboarding. No discovery workshops. We have done the methodology work already - the audit follows a fixed structure across every block we look at. Your slot is held the moment payment clears.

Why us

Where this fits among your options.

Compliance software is cheap but generic. Full managing agents are thorough but expensive and operationally invasive. The Block Compliance Check sits deliberately in between - human expertise without ongoing fees or loss of control.

FAQs

The honest answers we'd want before buying.

If your question is not here, email alex@modburyremote.co.uk - we'll answer it before you buy.

Tier 1 reports are delivered within 2 working days of purchase. Tier 2 and Tier 3 audits are delivered within 10 working days of your video walkthrough call (Tier 2) or site visit (Tier 3). Your call or site visit is booked into our calendar as soon as payment clears.
By paying. We do not hold provisional slots. Once your card payment clears (instant on most cards), you receive a booking link by email and pick from our live availability - Monday to Thursday, 10:00 to 16:00. The slot is locked in the moment you confirm it. This keeps the calendar honest and means no-one ever holds a slot you wanted.
Each separate residential dwelling - flat, apartment, maisonette - within the block counts as one unit. Commercial premises are counted separately and should be mentioned at intake so we can size the audit correctly.
Yes. We cover the whole of the UK. Regional compliance variations for Scotland (Tenement Management Scheme, Property Factors Act) and Northern Ireland are flagged in your report. We are honest where our knowledge stops - if a regional specialist is needed for a specific issue, we will tell you and where possible point you to one.
Compliance register (Google Sheets, with conditional formatting), service charge budget template, apportionment calculator, Section 20 Notice of Intention, Section 20 Notice of Estimates, contractor brief template, AGM agenda, directors' meeting minutes template, annual director's compliance checklist, and five resident communication templates covering the most common scenarios. All branded only as your block, not Modbury Remote.
Full refund before your video call (Tier 2) or site visit (Tier 3) takes place. After the call or visit, refunds are pro-rated against work completed - typically 50% if we have started but not delivered the pack. Tier 1 is non-refundable once the report is generated.
We signpost clearly and prioritise the actions. We do not project-manage remediation - that stays with you or a contractor of your choice. If a referral to a qualified specialist is needed (fire engineer, structural surveyor, leasehold solicitor), we will name names from a vetted network. No commission is taken from any referral.
Tier 2 and Tier 3 include 30 days of email follow-up after delivery - you can ask anything related to the report and we will reply within 2 working days. After 30 days, you can re-engage us on a per-query basis or wait for the annual compliance subscription we're launching later in 2026.
Yes. Within 30 days of your original purchase you can upgrade from Tier 1 to Tier 2, or Tier 2 to Tier 3, by paying the difference. The work we have already done on the lower tier carries forward.
All audits are delivered or directly supervised by TPI and RICS qualified members of the Modbury Remote team. Practising managing agent experience, not theoretical. We will name the lead reviewer on your audit at the start so you know who is signing off the work.
No. This is professional property management guidance based on current regulation, RICS standards, and good practice. Complex legal questions - lease interpretation, tribunal applications, freeholder disputes - should be referred to a specialist leasehold solicitor. We will tell you when we hit that line.
A Fire Risk Assessment covers one specific obligation (fire safety, under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Fire Safety Act 2021). We cover 25+ statutory and best-practice obligations as a single connected system - fire safety is one item alongside electrical, asbestos, water, lifts, insurance, accounts, Section 20, and many more.
Never. We do not sell or share your data with third parties (full privacy policy on the main site). We do not take commissions, referral fees, or kickbacks from any contractor in our shortlists. Independence is the entire point of the service.
What clients say

Real feedback. Once we have it.

We're launching this service, so we haven't built up a wall of testimonials yet. Below are the placeholders we'll fill once our first audits land. Until then, the only honest thing we can say is: we have ten-plus years of practising managing agent experience behind every audit.

About Modbury Remote

The productised arm of a practising managing agent.

Modbury Remote is the remote, productised arm of Modbury Estates Ltd - an established UK managing agent based in Devon and operating UK-wide.

Modbury Estates already manages residential leasehold blocks across the country: full-service, on-the-ground, RICS regulated. The Block Compliance Check brings that same professional depth to directors who are self-managing - without forcing them to hand over operational control or take on a recurring fee.

All work is delivered by, or directly supervised by, TPI and RICS qualified members of the team. The same standards, the same methodology, the same eye for what matters - just packaged as a one-off purchase rather than a long-term retainer.
