For many years Shirley Baillie has been involved in Sectional title complexes, by way of being an investor, and later on as a Trustee. For a large part of the time, she not aware that there was an Act governing the running of a complex. Like many others, she relied heavily on the managing agents for guidance, not realising that some managing agents also had little idea of the Sectional Title Act! Subsequently empowered through studying in this field, she went onto to give basic training in sectional title and service delivery to managing agents. She could not understand how owners just left others to run the complex in which they had a major investment, When she asked lots of questions at the AGM, for example, there was seldome support forthcoming for the other members of the Body Corporate and yet afterwards owners would come to her and say "well done”. When asked why they did not raise the issues that were worrying them, they said that they did not know enough! She hopes that this practical guide in the form of an index which allows people to access the Sectional Title Act easily and quickly, will go a long way towards addressing the issue. |
The accessibility will give those working or investing in the field of Sectional Title, a better chance of being informed, empowered, professional and objective when dealing with issues. It is in no way a substitute for attending one of the good courses that are on offer nor is it meant to be a replacement for consulting with a Lawyer well versed in the field of Sectional Title. |
