Confirmation statement sorted

Every company, including dormant and non trading companies, must file a confirmation statement. It confirms the information to Companies House hold about the company is up to date.

A confirmation statement must be filed at least once a year - or more often if there has been a significant change.

With BlockCare 300 we take care of this for you and debit the Companies House filing fee, currently £15, to the service charge bank account.

Ownership Registers Maintained

Blockcare300 members can update their ownership registers on-line at any time. This triggers RingleyLaw (our Solicitors) to review if there has been a notifiable event such as a change of owner or a sub-letting so they confirm the update.

Depending whether the property has been sold, or simply sub-let we will provide guidance on the selling or renting process.

Ringley Law will also deal with buyer's and seller's Solicitors and answer the preliminary enquiries to facilitate a sale, as well as dealing with share or membership transfers and updating both the ownership and shareholders or members registers also.

Legal Support - Solicitors' Enquiries

For Blockcare300 members we deal with Solicitors enquiries when a property sells.

Ringley Law offer 2 service levels:

  1. A complete preliminary enquiries service
  2. Support on a question by question basis as required

Or if you want to do it yourself, many of the documents you need can be easily stored in the Document Upload Centre

There is no such thing as a low cost Managing Agent, however, our BlockCare 300 takes care of all the legal and financial admin needed to run the service charges.

The brains behind BlockCare 300 is The Ringley Group, a leading managing agent. So it is like having a low cost managing agent, but you are the manager and decision maker (setting the budget and deciding who to pay). We are the service charge administrators making light work of demands, money management, accounts and legal work.

Avoid legal pitfalls e.g.

  • Companies House fines.
  • A £2,500 fine for failing to serve compliant service charge accounts
  • Being unable to collect monies due to the 18 month rule.
  • Not serving balancing charges & breaching of S19(2)of the 1985 Act

And, we underwrite bad debts with our no win no fee service charge litigation

Service charges are an amount that a leaseholder pays to cover the cost of providing communal or shared services to a building and, if applicable, the surrounding estate. The way charges are calculated and what they cover are set out in the lease.

For estates of houses the money collected is often called an 'estate charge' instead of service charge, similarly it is collected to cover the cost of shared services to run the estate.
