Most RMCs handle director handover informally, which is to say: barely. An incoming director should receive the company's basic documents (memorandum and articles, recent filings, the registered office details); the financial picture (accounts, budget, reserve fund, bank arrangements and any arrears); the building's operational documents (insurance, fire risk assessment, maintenance contracts, works history); and a note of anything live — disputes, consultations, planned works and known problems.
The absence of this handover is why so many management packs start from nothing. The information existed; it just left with the previous committee.
A standing building record solves the problem structurally: the record belongs to the building, directors come and go, and each answer carries its date and source. Handover becomes granting access rather than excavating an inbox.
