Finding a good relief manager is difficult, finding a great one is rare! I will ask you this, how much is your business worth in the hands of someone else? When we receive a phone call from a client requesting a relief manager and they ask how the process works, the one thing I am always upfront about is – “you will not be 100% satisfied as I guarantee they will do something incorrect” – this generally gets a gasp down the phone but I then explain the reason behind it is simple…. “they are not you”. You have run your resort for a numberRead More →

Having grown up as a boy in Melbourne, before coming to the Gold Coast where I have been in our law practice for many, many years, I still have an interest in Melbourne and a curiosity as to how different the Management Rights situation is in both cities. I have realised that on the Gold Coast we freely integrate our tourists with our resident population and celebrate the tourist industry as a great feature, benefiting both residents and tourists alike. We have a very compatible resident and tourist use of our buildings particular because of our form of Management Rights where the on-site Caretaker andRead More →

Back in the day when I was a bank manager one of the marketing strategies the banks employed from time to time was pre-approved finance for home buyers. Basically we collected information from the client and gave them a letter saying they could borrow up to a certain amount subject to a formal finance application and a full credit assessment. The letter was not a finance approval and carried no obligation on behalf of the bank. In other words it was pretty much useless except that it did give potential home buyers an idea of their likely maximum loan and therefore what maximum purchase priceRead More →

According to consultancy firm Capgemini and Royal Bank of Scotland, Australia has the 4th highest rate of non-cash payments on earth, increasing by 7 percent per year. According to the RBA, the average surcharge for Visa / Master Card is 1.9% and 2.9% for American Express. The implications of this, for a business operating on a 10% margin, are staggering. They’re essentially sacrificing 20-30% of their profit just to receive payment. For a motel operating on a 30% margin it’s around 10%. These costs are often simply accepted as part of doing business, but it’s only going to get worse from here. Seemingly overnight, tap-and-go services have become ubiquitous and withRead More →

Unfortunately, in this day and age, it is almost necessary for an Onsite Manager or leasing consultant to complete a course in self-defence along with their registration. I began asking Onsite Managers if any have had scary encounters whilst at a tenant’s premises.  Statistically speaking, 1 in 5 had some sort of scare.  I personally, have been pushed against a wall, whilst carrying out an exit inspection, by the outgoing tenant.  This drew me to the conclusion to NEVER agree to conduct the inspection with them present. Routine inspections, if carried out correctly, should be fairly straight forward and the tenant should, in most instances,Read More →

Lawyers acting for buyers of Management Rights are often faced with the task of trying to explain to their clients problems which they may face as a result of badly worded Caretaking and Letting Agreements.  Much of this could be avoided if developers and their advisers took more care in preparing these agreements. Developers have a golden opportunity to set up Management Rights in a way that will not create difficulties for building managers. The developer is in complete control of the Body Corporate at the time the original Caretaking and Letting Agreements are put in place. I have acted for many people buying unitsRead More →

In the lead up to the GFC if you were upright and breathing and had a deposit you could borrow money. The banks were very excited about the way things were going and not a lot of attention was paid to the capacity of the borrower to successfully operate the asset being purchased. After all, the economy wasgoing gang busters, the miners were having a great old time, what could possibly go wrong ? My, how things have changed !The past few years have seen a steady tightening of credit policy among the banks with particular focus on new entrants to business with management rightsRead More →
