Kennet Island Resident Steering Group, RMC & PBM Property Management
The RMC - Residents Management Company is the company that manages the Kennet Island residential area. The RMC is currently lead by Berkeley Homes - the Developer & Freeholder for Kennet Island.
The Steering Group is made up of local residents, representing all residents from across Kennet Island, from freeholders to leaseholders, private and social renting and individual houses to large apartment buildings.
The RMC & representatives of the Residents Steering Group meet regularly with the assigned property management company, PBM; to discuss and instruct them; on all areas of focus or concern of the residents. Buildings and maintenance. Service charges and facilities.
All residents are welcome to contribute to the RMC via the residents steering group, however the decisions made by the RMC are down to the company's directors only. The RMC is currently controlled by a sole Director of the Freeholder - Berkeley Homes. However, the RMC is in the process of hand over to Resident Directors from the Steering Group, as Berkeley finish the final apartments, road adoptions to Reading Borough Council & complete Kennet Island for residents. Once this has happened and Berkeley leave the site, the RMC will be managed by Kennet Island Resident Directors.
