The law for self-managed blocks.
What a volunteer director is responsible for, written from the legislation itself. Every duty has its section, its date and what it costs to miss, so you can check it for yourself.
One date is fixed. The rest are waiting on the government.

Start with the one you need this month.
Every dated duty of a resident-run block, with the section that imposes it.
Every duty in five groups: the money, the company, the building, the right to manage, and what the 2027 rules add. Each one has its deadline, what it costs to miss, and a link to the law itself.

What the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 adds for a self-managed block, measure by measure, and which dates are still not fixed.
LAFRA 2024 ss.54–63 (opens in new tab)Filing, and verifying every director.
What the company files each year, and how each director verifies their identity in time for the next confirmation statement.
CA 2006 ss.441, 853A (opens in new tab); SI 2025/1118 reg 4 (opens in new tab)Each page is written from legislation.gov.uk, GOV.UK and the Companies House, HSE and ICO guidance, and links to the section it relies on. We read them again whenever the government publishes something new, and the date at the top of each page says when that last happened. The same rules drive the calendar inside Resident Led, so when the law changes the product changes with it. How it works.
England only, unless a page says otherwise. We cite the law; we do not give legal advice.
Most demands pass on the money and fail on the wording. The wording is what a leaseholder’s solicitor reads.
