Cleaver Property Management Ltd were honoured to be involved in last week’s DIY SOS episode featuring 8 year old Raffi, from Bracknell, a very special young boy whose story inspired so many.

On the evening of 9 October, a fire occurred at one of the residential sites we manage, affecting three properties.

From autumn 2025, under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, all directors and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) must verify their identity with Companies House. While many firms are handling this quietly in the background, we believe our clients deserve full visibility into what’s happening and how we’re preparing on their behalf. So, What’s Changing? This isn’t just another form to complete. The law is designed to: Stop people from using companies for criminal or dishonest purposes Improve transparency in the UK’s corporate system Ensure every director is personally identifiable and accountable If you don’t verify your identity, you may: Be barred from acting as a director Prevent your company from filing legal documents Be subject to fines or disqualification How Are We Supporting Our Clients? We’ve rolled out a full, structured support plan to help directors meet the new requirements. Here’s what Cleaver are doing : 1. Notifying Directors Early - We’ve contacted all directors across the companies we manage using tailored letters and templates, clearly explaining what’s required and when. 2. Offering Step-by-Step Guidance - We’ve created easy-to-understand materials to help directors: Choose how to verify (online, Post Office, or via an ACSP) Understand the process Get support if they’re unsure where to start 3. Tracking Progress Internally - We maintain a compliance checklist for every company we manage. This allows us to: Track which directors have verified Send timely reminders to those who haven’t Avoid last-minute compliance issues 4. Helping Boards with Removal (If Needed) - If a director refuses to verify and the company’s Articles allow for it, we’ll assist with: Legal guidance Notices and paperwork Filing director removal forms with Companies House 5. Answering Questions Along the Way - We’ve trained our team to answer queries about the new rules and if needed, we’ll help connect you with a solicitor or accountant who can act as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP). Why Does This Matter? This legislation is a major step forward in protecting companies and the people who run them. We believe in staying ahead of compliance and ensuring our clients feel confident, not confused. By taking this proactive approach, Cleaver Property Management is helping to: Protect directors from penalties Ensure companies stay compliant Promote trust and transparency in the leasehold management sector Do You Need Help? If you’re a director and aren’t sure what to do next, we’re here to help you understand your responsibilities and how to meet them.
