17/09/2026

A special levy is not the same as your ordinary levy, and it works differently. It is raised to meet a necessary expense that cannot reasonably wait to be provided for in the next annual budget.

Here the authority sits with the trustees. Where a genuine, unavoidable cost arises, the trustees may raise a special levy by resolution, and it becomes payable as they decide, without waiting for an AGM. That power is a limited one: it is meant for expenses that are necessary and cannot be delayed, not for topping up ordinary shortfalls. And owners are not without a say. Where members who together represent at least a quarter of the scheme ask for it in writing, the trustees are obliged to call a general meeting so the matter can be discussed.

What owners should expect from a well-run scheme is context, not a surprise line on a statement. When a special levy is raised, Sandak-Lewin Trust assists the trustees and sets out the reason, the estimated cost, and the payment terms clearly, so owners understand what the levy is for and why it could not wait.

Sectional title schemes are expecting more from their management, and rightly so.

Bernadette Turner shares why accurate reporting, proactive compliance and long-term planning have become essential to protecting property value and keeping schemes running smoothly.

Good management is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s essential.

Every levy an owner pays is split across two funds that the law requires each scheme to hold. Knowing the difference explains why levies are set the way they are.

The administrative fund levy covers the scheme’s day-to-day running: municipal accounts on common property, insurance, cleaning, security, minor repairs, and management. The reserve fund levy is separate and protected. It builds up over time to pay for the major maintenance and replacement the scheme knows is coming, guided by a written maintenance plan, so a lift refurbishment or a roof replacement does not arrive as a sudden shock.

This is why a levy is not simply a running cost. Part of it keeps the scheme operating now, and part of it protects the value of every owner’s investment later. Sandak-Lewin Trust prepares and reports on both funds so trustees and owners can see exactly where their contributions go.

A reserve fund is how a well-run scheme pays for major repairs without a sudden special levy.

Carl Smit, Managing Director at Sandak-Lewin Trust, explains how a 10-year maintenance plan and a reserve fund allow bodies corporate to prepare for major capital expenses over time, rather than relying on costly special levies when the need arises.

For owners, that means greater financial predictability and a scheme that stays stable and prepared for what is coming.

03/09/2026

Paying levies on time is the obligation most owners know. It is not the only one. Owning a section in a sectional title scheme carries duties set out in the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act and in the scheme's own rules, and they apply to every owner.

Owners are responsible for maintaining their own section and keeping it in good repair. They must comply with the scheme's conduct and management rules, whether the matter is pets, parking, noise, or alterations. They must allow reasonable access to their section when it is needed to maintain or repair common property or services. And they must not alter common property, or an exclusive use area, without the proper authorisation first.

None of this is meant to catch owners out. Knowing where an owner's responsibility begins and ends is what keeps a scheme running without avoidable disputes. Sandak-Lewin Trust manages schemes so these obligations are clear to owners and applied consistently across the scheme.

28/08/2026

Scheme rules, covering everything from pets to parking to cameras, are only enforceable if they are reasonable and applied consistently to every owner. Rules that are inconsistently enforced, overly restrictive or adopted without the correct process are vulnerable to being challenged and set aside.

This matters more than it may seem. A rule that cannot be enforced offers no real protection to the scheme, regardless of how it reads on paper. Drafting and reviewing scheme rules properly, and applying them evenly across all owners, is what makes them durable.

Sandak-Lewin Trust reviews scheme rules as part of our management service.
