You might be living in a Community Scheme because you don’t want to be spending a lot of your precious time working on your home or in your garden.

However, when you buy into a corporation you become a member of the corporation and have responsibilities to maintain any structure on your lot and any common property or service infrastructure; such as watering systems or services designed to improve the amenity or enhance the enjoyment of the lots or common property.

There is no doubt that establishing and maintaining lawns and gardens can improve the health and well being of residents, as well as showing that owners take pride in their ‘little slice’ of heaven.

Some corporations have active management committees, that enjoy looking after the grounds on behalf of the many other residents, however, some don’t.

Body Corporate Managers can assist in arranging for maintenance and repair of the common property on behalf of the corporation, however, it’s unlikely that the trade or business they engage to do the work for you will be from the local area; someone your corporation can build a trusting relationship with.

As your ‘Personal Assistant’ Property PA will ‘keep it local’ by connecting you with local trades and businesses.
