Residential sales tactics often include advertising listings at a lower price, whether for sales or auction purposes, in order to attract enquiry and then manipulating emotions to attempt to have a potential buyer bid or pay a higher amount than they had originally intended. However, Management Rights listings work in reverse. The prices advertised are normally higher than what the agent or seller realistically expect to achieve. It’s important to acknowledge that the real estate industry isn’t all smoke and mirrors – most agents are not intentionally out there to do the wrong thing. But the tactic of over quoting multipliers to get listings hasRead More →

I spend all day, every day, reading body corporate records; lucky me. The business conducted by each scheme differs wildly but there are several core things that majority schemes do. Termite inspections is one of them. The BCCM Act doesn’t explicitly require that a body corporate do regular termite inspections. As is usually the case the applicable legislation is far broader than focussing on the one issue. Section 159 of the Standard Module requires the body corporate to maintain common property in good condition. If the scheme is a Building Format Plan (BFP) legislation requires the body corporate must go a step further. Section 159(2)Read More →

I have written previously about interest only finance and particularly the pros and cons of such a strategy. Setting aside the current pressure on lenders to restrict interest only funding I think it’s worth having a broad look at interest only finance, why borrowers and advisors advocate these strategies and why they may be wrong. In this article we will talk about interest only finance in the context of money borrowed to acquire an income producing asset such as a business or investment property. The central premise is driven by current taxation rules which essentially allow interest costs associated with a loan to acquire anRead More →

New smoke alarm legislation in Queensland came into play from 1 January 2017 and is expected to drastically cut the number of deaths from house fires. The new legislation requires every domestic home, including rental properties, to have smoke alarms that are photoelectric, interconnected, and either hard-wired or powered by a 10-year lithium battery. For property managers this means additional obligations with regards to the installation and maintenance of smoke alarms. Smoke alarms are currently required by law in all rental properties but the type of alarm installed is no longer something that can be left to the owner’s discretion. Failure to install the correctRead More →

Something has got to be done about the “industry” that is developing, or has already developed, around the process of a body corporate giving its consent to an assignment of Management Rights Agreements (Caretaking and Letting Agreements for Schemes). This harmful industry has sprung up from the activities of some Body Corporate Managers, Solicitors and so-called “experts” in assessing the merits of the assignee, when a party is buying the management rights and the selling manager seeks the consent of the Body Corporate. The job of the committee of the body corporate is simply to check the material submitted by the assignee, have an interviewRead More →
