🔎 MYTH vs FACT: Sectional Title Edition - Episode 5

❌ MYTH:
“If I can’t attend the AGM, I lose my vote completely.”

✅ FACT:
Not necessarily!

If you are unable to attend a Body Corporate meeting, you can appoint another person to attend and vote on your behalf by completing a valid proxy.

But there are rules. 👀

📋 What Owners should know:

• A proxy must be properly appointed in accordance with the prescribed requirements.
• Your proxy can attend the meeting and exercise your voting rights on your behalf.
• A person may not act as proxy for more than two members at the same meeting.
• Your proxy does not necessarily have to be another owner in the scheme.

💡 Why does this matter?

Your inability to physically attend an AGM does not mean you have to give up your opportunity to participate in important decisions affecting your scheme and your investment.

AGMs deal with important matters such as budgets, levies, trustee elections, financial statements, insurance and maintenance planning.

If you can’t attend, make sure your voice is still represented — appoint your proxy correctly and submit it within the required timeframe.

📌 The takeaway:
Can’t attend? Don’t just skip the meeting. Use your proxy.

At HQ Prop Man, we believe informed Owners and Trustees create stronger, better-governed community schemes.

🔎 MYTH vs FACT: Sectional Title Edition - Episode 4

❌ MYTH:
“Why do we need a 10-year maintenance plan? We’ll just fix things when they break.”

✅ FACT:
That approach is exactly how unexpected expenses and special levies are born. 👀

A 10-Year Maintenance, Repair and Replacement Plan helps a Body Corporate anticipate major future expenses relating to common property, instead of waiting for something to fail before figuring out how to pay for it.

🏢 Think:

• Roof repairs and waterproofing
• Exterior painting
• Paving and common areas
• Pumps and mechanical equipment
• Security infrastructure
• Major plumbing or electrical works
• Other significant common-property components

💡 Why does this matter?

Proper long-term planning allows a scheme to budget and build its reserve fund over time, rather than suddenly asking owners to fund a major repair when something goes wrong.

A maintenance plan isn't just another compliance document sitting in a file.

It's a financial roadmap for protecting the scheme, its buildings and ultimately every owner's investment.

⚠️ Fixing things when they break is reactive management. Planning for them before they break is good scheme management.

At HQ Prop Man, we believe proactive planning creates financially healthier, better-maintained community schemes.

🏢 WHAT IS THE BIGGEST FRUSTRATION IN YOUR COMMUNITY SCHEME RIGHT NOW?

Every Body Corporate and HOA has its own challenges but some issues come up again and again.

Which one causes the most frustration in your scheme?

💸 Levy arrears and poor collections
🔧 Maintenance that takes too long
📢 Poor communication with owners
📑 Rules that are inconsistently enforced
💧 Municipal accounts and utility recoveries
🗳️ Meetings, voting and governance disputes
📂 Missing records or compliance documents
⏳ Slow responses from the managing agent

Good community scheme management should bring structure, accountability and clear processes to these areas, not add to the frustration.

At HQ Prop Man, our focus is on proactive management, transparent reporting and ensuring that schemes are properly managed from both an operational and governance perspective.

🔎 MYTH vs FACT: Sectional Title Edition - Episode 3

❌ MYTH:
“My estate agent said pets are allowed, so the Body Corporate has to allow my pet.”

✅ FACT:
Not necessarily.

When buying or renting in a sectional title scheme, a verbal assurance from an estate agent does not override the scheme’s valid Conduct Rules.

The Conduct Rules determine whether pets are permitted, whether prior written consent is required, and what reasonable conditions or restrictions may apply.

🐾 Why does this matter?

Before moving into a sectional title property with a pet, always ask for a copy of the scheme’s approved Conduct Rules and check the pet provisions carefully.

A property may be advertised as “pet-friendly”, but that does not automatically mean that every pet is permitted or that approval is guaranteed.

💡 The takeaway:
Don’t rely on “the agent said it was fine.” Check the rules before you sign.

At HQ Prop Man, we believe informed Owners, Trustees and Residents create better-managed and more harmonious communities.
