My fees are up and I'm happy to pay them but I'd like to do this by quarter. I was told that if your fees are over 2,000 per year, which mine are, that legally I can pay this way.
Our Property Management company has said that they dont provide this facility.
My understatding is that some management companies accept payment of fees in arrears but only by quarterly direct debit. I don't know about there being a threshold regarding the amount of the fees to avail of this facility.
Note its the agent that you are paying the fee to and not the company. As an owner you are a member of a management company that hires an agent to maintain the apartment.
I'd say the agent doesn't want to take quarterly payments as there is more administrative work in tracking this and this leads to a higher fee for everyone else. This could be addressed at the company's AGM.
Perhaps if you set up a direct debit with the agent they would facilitate you?
