In uncertain economic times it’s never been more beneficial for a strata scheme to have a resident manager. It has been proven time and time again that resident managers save a scheme money and provide much better service than any outside source. But in an age when trades are now routinely charging $100 an hour or more – and that’s if you’re lucky enough to find one to do the work – a good on-site building manager has become the one-stop shop for all maintenance needs and repairs. Resident managers are on a fixed contract with their body corporates and on average are receiving about $45Read More →

ON-SITE building management provides more essential services for a scheme, and they are delivered faster, cheaper and with more of a personal touch than any comparable options provided by off-site service providers. Resident managers save money for unit owners and the body corporate, and they also add great value to a scheme through their work. The industry survey conducted by international accountancy group Deloitte demonstrated better returns for owners from properties managed under the Management & Letting Rights model. The survey responses indicated that a Resident Manager performs the caretaking functions in a more cost-effective manner when compared to other professional outside alternatives.

AUSTRALIA IS GRIPPED BY AN UNPRECEDENTED housing crisis, and ARAMA is calling on local councils around the country to ban the use of detached homes for short-term rentals.

Meanwhile, in Queensland alone there are more than 50,000 people waiting on the social housing register and struggling to find a roofRead More →
