Residents Management Company

Hi...
My partner lives on a small newish housing estate. It had its own Residents Management Committee where all the residents own an equal share.
The chairman is now unfortunately in a care home, leaving my partner as the only committee member.
He has managed to supply Companies House with the outstanding accounts, but does not want to take this on full time. None of the other residents are interested in being on the committee.
It has already caused a delay in one house sale on the street as a pack has to be provided to the buyer laying out the terms of being a shareholder of the street.
In the not too distant future we intend to sell both our houses and buy somewhere together, but unsure how he removes himself from the committee and sells his house.....
Anyone had anything like this before?

If noone wants to do it you could/should get a management company. There'll be a fee of course.

Been trying to find companies on the internet, but only seem to see ones for blocks of flats or leasehold properties? That would be the ideal solution, appreciate there would be a charge, but if no one is willing to take it on then paying for the service will have to be accepted

Our estate uses PREIM - it’s a similar arrangement in that we are freehold but have to pay estate fees. Avoid PREIM they’re useless

Is it worth contacting a solicitor who specialises in leaseholds and see if they have any recommendations?

Solicitors is a good idea, I'll mention that, and won't mention PREIM😀
