By this Order the Secretary of State approves, subject to the exception mentioned below, a code of practice relating to the management of residential property by landlords and others who discharge the management function. The approved code is the “Service Charge Residential Management Code” (ISBN 978-1-78321-141-8) by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (“RICS”). The section headed ‘RICS guidance notes’ of that code has not been approved as it is not relevant for the purposes of section 87 of the 1993 Act.
