    We also charge the same as/close to local housing allowance rate which is what the Almshouse Association always advised though this does get tricky when LHA gets frozen.
    Overall we ensure that income from MMCs covers our overheads and allows for something to be set aside in reserves

    RICS Chartered Surveyors are the professionals used to value a property for acquisitions, disposals and for accounts (but often at quite some cost). Occassionally estate agents have a qualified surveyor in house but either way they will charge. A websearch will list local ones to you.

    Hi. Our Scheme specifically states we can appoint without having to readvertise within a 12 month period. It would seem very sensible to go back to your list of previous applicants to save time and resources.

    Ours is a match system. The employee can opt for 5, 6 or 7% for their own contribution and the employer will then match it. My feeling is that employers should be helping employees to retire with a reasonable standard of living. We may work for charities but we shouldn’t end up in need of charitable support ourselves!
