520			_aThe 4th edition of the code, reviewed by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and approved by the Secretary of State, is effective from 7 April 2026. It applies only to residential leasehold properties in England, but practitioners operating in other parts of the UK are encouraged to follow the best practice guidelines contained in the code. This code is written to promote desirable practices in respect of the management of residential leasehold property, with the latest edition of the code reflecting recent developments in legislation, such as the Building Safety Act (2022) and the Fire Safety Act (2021) and good practice. Effective property management requires cooperation and a shared understanding of procedures and potential problems. The code is intended for RICS members and regulated firms acting as landlords, social housing landlords, leaseholders, managing agents, managers and occupiers of leasehold property. Additionally, parts are specifically intended for other parties such as property owners and professional advisers.
