<p>There are no plans to make the Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA)
a member of the Regulation of Property Agents Working Group. The composition of the
working group's membership needs to reflect a balance of interests between property
agents and housing consumers.</p><p>Already included within the working group are
two professional bodies with knowledge and experience of property management: the
Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and the Institute of Residential Property Management.
Both these organisations have members who are also members of ARMA, or work on behalf
of them. The working group will wish to invite others to personally provide evidence
and give their views. When the working group discusses managing agents, ARMA will
be at the forefront of the list of organisations for this purpose.</p>
