Evening All,
I'm seeking input regarding the obligations / roles of a real estate agent being a Strata Manager for a complex of Survey Strata Villas.
One of my IPs has been diagnosed as having a concrete blockage in a sewage drain line. From the plumbers' boroscope report today, it appears a fence post pierced the sewage line during construction, the fencing contractors just poured bags of rapid set into the hole and added water and walked away......now we have a partially blocked sewage line needing replacement.
Complex is 5yrs old and the builder has a fault obligation for 7yrs post construction.
I've spoken to the agent / strata mgr and she has washed her hands of it saying that as the complex is Survey Strata, she is only responsible for management of common areas. I challenged this by asking her why she oversaw, via our committee, the massive increase to the total insurance on the rebuilding of all the dwellings by a huge amount if she is only managing common areas? Also, why do we pay her $2200 per annum per unit in mgt fees if she does sweet #uck all, except send us bills twice a year???
Yes, I know I'll have to go direct to the builder with eveidence of the damage and begin banging my head against that wall too. But I really do wonder why the hell we have a strata mgr in place under this arrangement.
Why is survey strata mgt so different to strata mgt?
Sorry people.....very tired, very ****ty......and very peed off people passing the buck all the time. Why aren't guns legal in this country???
Ian.......i'll be better in the morning after I get this **** off my liver.
