Running the flats
Elm Bank Mansions is managed jointly by managing agents The London Property Hub (TLPH), alongside the freehold company of resident shareholders, Elm Bank Mansions Ltd (EBML), represented by a voluntary management committee of shareholders.
While TLPH handles the day-to-day running of the flats, collects the service charges, administers statutory notices, and oversees building maintenance, EBML directs strategies, policies and new developments in consultation with MR and the residents.
