A manager—
may do anything necessary for the purpose of the appointment,
acts as the registered provider's agent (and is not personally liable on a contract), and
has ostensible authority to act for the registered provider (so that a person dealing with the manager in good faith and for value need not inquire into the manager's powers).
In particular, the terms of a manager's appointment may confer power—
to sell or otherwise dispose of land by public auction or private contract;
to raise or borrow money;
to grant security over land;
to grant or accept surrender of a lease;
to take a lease;
to take possession of property;
to appoint a solicitor, accountant or other professional to assist the manager;
to appoint agents and staff (and to dismiss them);
to make payments;
to bring or defend legal proceedings;
to refer a question to arbitration;
to make any arrangement or compromise;
to carry on the business of the registered provider;
to carry out works and do other things in connection with the management or transfer of land;
to take out insurance;
to use the registered body's seal;
to execute in the name and on behalf of the registered provider any deed, receipt or other document;
to do anything incidental to a power in paragraphs (a) to (q).
A manager shall so far as is reasonably practicable consult and inform the registered provider's tenants about an exercise of powers likely to affect them.
