RMG Client Services Limited

What RMG Client Services Limited does

RMG Client Services Limited (trading as RMG London) is a London-focused residential property management company that has operated since 2002 and is a subsidiary of the Places for People Group. The London business manages approximately 20,000 London homes out of a wider 150,000-home RMG group portfolio nationwide, with a 300+ onsite London workforce and headquarters in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire. The company serves freeholders, developers, leaseholders, local authorities, and housing associations, with a particularly deep set of relationships with Berkeley Group and St George plc evidenced by named contract wins at Beaufort Park, Chelsea Creek, St George Wharf Tower, Grand Union, Horlicks Quarter, and Holborough Lakes.

The service portfolio covers day-to-day property management, in-house health and safety surveying, building safety compliance (introduced post-Building Safety Act 2022), financial and service-charge management, company secretarial services, and developer consultancy. The technology layer consists of the proprietary RMG Living customer portal and a companion mobile app, which give leaseholders self-service access to property, finance and service-charge information; the underlying stack appears to be a conventional web/mobile application rather than an AI-enabled platform, with Google Analytics cited for website analytics.

The revenue model is predominantly recurring, built on long-term service-charge contracts with freeholders, developers, and resident management companies across managed developments. Adjacent revenue streams include ground rent collection, insurance scheme commissions, transactional fees from solicitor enquiries (SLA/SLI responses), developer pre-handover consultancy, and the newer Building Safety advisory and compliance fees. Distribution is account-based via a dedicated New Business Team pursuing developers and institutional freeholders directly, with a track record of repeat mandates from the same counterparties rather than one-off transactional wins.
