Who pays for which maintenance?

This is specified precisely in your deed of division. Common parts such as, for example, the roof, façade, foundations, pipes outside your apartment, ground-floor or upper-floor dwelling, and the lift are paid for by the Home Owners’ Association (HOA). Inside your apartment, the owner is responsible for the costs.

In doubt? Present your situation to us and we will be happy to help.

 

How does voting at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) work?
This is laid down in the deed of division and the Internal Regulations. For major decisions, a two-thirds or three-quarters majority is often required. In addition, a minimum number of members must be present. We are happy to explain this for your specific situation.

 

Drawing up or updating Internal Regulations?
This is possible, provided they are in line with the deed and existing resolutions. We have sample texts available.

 

GDPR and membership lists: what is allowed?
Use personal data only for HOA purposes (management, Annual General Meetings, direct debit). Do not share data unnecessarily and store it securely. Ask us for brief guidelines.

 

The Professional Managing Agent does little in terms of sustainability. What now?
Put it on the agenda for discussion at the Annual General Meeting. Set up a sustainability committee and take action yourself. Or present your situation to us and we will help you.

 

Model Annual General Meeting resolution (example)?
Describe in the minutes: the number of votes out of the total number of attendees plus valid proxies, a description of the measure / decision, budget ceiling, financing (reserve fund / loan / subsidy), planning / conditions and mandate to the board.

 

Can we get help with managing our HOA?
No, there are specialised HOA management companies for this. You can, however, benefit from our experience. Present your situation to us.

 

Can we get help with a conflict with our Professional Managing Agent?
No, we do not interfere in the relationship between HOAs and their Professional Managing Agents. You can, however, benefit from our experience. In addition, we know specialised lawyers and attorneys in the field of HOA.

 

Can we get help with amending the deed of division?
Yes, we can help you get started with the process, but ultimately it is the notary who draws up the deed. Present your situation to us.

 

Can we get help explaining what the rights and obligations of the board and members are?
Yes, we can help. Present your situation to us.

 

We need help identifying exactly what belongs to the common parts and what does not. Can you help?
Yes, we can help. Use the contact form and we will provide you with an answer.
