IAs your BC committee will make decisions on behalf of the owners corporation, it’s important to ensure the right people are elected. A property’s owners corporation or body corporate has the opportunity to elect committee members at each annual general meeting. A well-functioning committee is achievable but, just like employing someone for a job, you need to ensure the right people are undertaking the right roles. This is why the task of selecting your BC committee is important. Taking the time to carefully consider and elect the most capable and committed individuals will set the foundation for a successful and harmonious committee. 

If you're buying a townhouse/unit in a block with a Body Corporate, don't be afraid to check the minutes from past annual general meetings (AGM). It's a great way to gain a deeper understanding of the property, find any areas of potential concern, and get an idea of how it's being managed.

When it comes to painting your property's exterior, the weather plays a major role! Due to its chemical composition, paint needs specific conditions to dry properly. You want to aim for warm, dry days—rain or high humidity can lead to issues like longer drying times and improper adhesion. Luckily, spring weather in New Zealand is often moderate, making it the perfect time to freshen up your home’s exterior. With temperatures that aren’t too hot or too cold, you’re more likely to find those sunny, dry days that are ideal for painting! Don’t wait—get your project on the calendar today!

Spring is finally here, and we all know what that means: it’s time to get your property maintenance up to scratch before the summer arrives! As the warmer days become more frequent, taking care of your property investments should be at the top of your priority list. To ensure you don’t miss anything, the key is to create a maintenance checklist. Here are just a few tasks to add to your maintenance list: - Remove dead trees & bushes - Clean gutters and downspouts - Clean foundation vents - Address moisture buildup - Schedule your air conditioner to be cleaned and serviced - Check your smoke alarms.
