As far as I know they are. At least that's the case with our estate/management company where when it comes to selling the house the seller will need something stating that any outstanding charges/arrears are cleared. I guess the buyer's solicitor will check for this when processing the legal documents (covenant? lease?) attaching to the management company agreement or something like that? Apart from that any arrears are always treated as collectible by the management company/agent and they charge interest and legal fees back to the debtor if necessary.Dearg Doom said:All unpaid fees set my the management company should be required to be paid before a house can be sold.
2Pack said:I do feel that FF and the PDs are in for an awful shock on the doorstep when the next election campaign starts because of the lack of regulation of these entities and they way in which they can simply present their victims with extortionate demands every year ....in certain cases that is .
There are swathes of new housing in the larger cities where nobody will vote for the government because they have been hung out to dry by the developers and their cronies in property management .
If you think that FF will appoint a competent regulator for the sector you have another think coming. Once they sold eircom we were given a regulator called Comreg to represent our interests . Comreg have been an absolute disaster for this country and are typical of what FF and the PDs call a regulator .
FF and their developer mates would never allow the creation of a strong private estate regulator with teeth who could regulate quickly, lay down clear standards of accountability and remove some of these vermin from 'their' developments and fine them swingeing amounts of turnover when they misbehave.
FF and their developer mates have ensured that no proper legislation on the taking in charge of developments by Local Authorities has been enected in years. Nor has the planning act 2000 been fully implemented where completions are involved. Everything is deliberately left in a mushy legal limbo.
FF and their developer mates have ensured that statutory estate referendum process where the owners can vote on whether they manage an estate or let a local authority do it .......exists .
The PDs simply do not care because extorting your captive homeowners is not a tax as they see it , its legitimate profit to them.
The press do not care either, they make most of their profit on Property Supplements.
RTÉ do not want to be seen to deliberately 'create' a new 'political issue' with a general election incoming within a year.
Nobody has a vested interest in helping the victims , Bulletin Boards are simply somewhere to compare victim statements .
God bless one off housing
