New Management Committee Confusion
Posted: 14 Apr 2017 18:24
Hello Nigel
I'm new to this forum, and have found it to be very informative. Keep up the good work.
I'm getting rather confused over the rules regarding setting a management committee for our complex of 29 properties. Your advice would be most welcome.
A new committee has been formed for our complex. Do we really need one?..
A property management company has been appointed to look after our communal areas/pool etc. which the Committee decided themselves.
The developer of our complex used to take on this role, but have now decided to stop.
Given the fact that we have such a small development, i feel a committee is an unnecessary complexity we could do without. A secretary willing to handle basic clerical duties would suffice, with a small remuneration maybe to cover any time spent emailing etc. Any amendments to the rules of the complex would then be voted on by all owners, on a one property, one vote basis.
Every owner is entitled to their vote on any matter relating to the complex, but I'm being told that it is the Committee who make the final decisions on behalf of the complex owners. Surely this is not right. I don't want the committee members making decisions for me.
Kind regards
