With a legacy of over fifty years’ experience in residential property management, The Property Institute originates from the merger of The Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA) and The Institute of Residential Property Management (IRPM) in March 2022.

Established in 1991, ARMA, the leading professional body for residential managing agents in England and Wales, was created to bring together companies involved in private residential block management. IRPM, the professional body for residential property management specialists, set industry standards by providing accredited qualifications, career guidance, and resources to assist property managers in their roles, and was founded in 2002.
