The new RICS Service Charge Code means any leaseholder can challenge your demands at the First-tier Tribunal. If they don't follow the Code, the tribunal can rule them unreasonable. ServiceChargePro generates compliant demands in minutes.
Join Waitlist — 50% Off for LifeThe RICS Service Charge Code 4th Edition was published on 17 March 2026. It comes into force on 7 April. Here's what that means for you.
The 4th Edition was published March 17th. You have until April 7th to update every demand, statement and process. That's three weeks to understand and implement a 120+ page code.
Any leaseholder can take your demand to the First-tier Tribunal and argue it doesn't follow the approved Code. The tribunal can rule it unreasonable — meaning you can't collect the money.
The new Code requires you to show each leaseholder's percentage and how it was calculated. Most RTM boards have never produced one. You'll need one for every demand from April 7th.
RTM directors are unpaid residents doing this alongside day jobs. You shouldn't need to read a 120-page RICS code to manage your building's finances. But now compliance is your responsibility.
No consultants. No 120-page code to read. Just enter your building details and let ServiceChargePro handle the rest.
Add your building details, units and leaseholder information once. ServiceChargePro calculates apportionment percentages automatically from your lease terms.
ServiceChargePro produces RICS-compliant service charge demands, annual statements and apportionment schedules — all in the new standardised format.
