Housing Sector Podcast Special: You’re Sacked!


Listen Later

How many of us are paying for services we never see delivered?

Amber was. So were her neighbours. Instead of waiting for answers, they took action.

They legally removed their managing agent, set up their own resident-led company, and took full control of managing their block. What followed wasn’t just a reduction in service charges — it was a rise in standards, accountability, and community power.

This isn’t a fantasy — it’s already happening. And if more leaseholders follow Amber’s lead, it could change the balance of power in housing management entirely.

In this special episode, we unpack:

  • The process of removing an agent
  • The challenges of going independent
  • Why the current system is failing
  • And whether this is a real alternative to a service charge strike

If you’re tired of paying for services you’re not receiving, this one’s for you.
