Standards

The Property Institute maintains a reference of standards for the UK residential property industry. From legislation, the latest news and context from the UK government, through to the practical application in case law and tribunal decisions, we strive to keep track of today's regulatory environment through this section of our website.

Company members of The Property Institute can use the TPI Guidance Notes to distil the public standards into professional best practices.

The Property Institute Guidance Notes have been created to provide Managing Agents with guidance on the risks associated with their business, the law that underpins each area of risk and best practices for management.

These notes are for guidance only and are not a substitute for professional legal advice for specific scenarios.
