Our meetings are always held in the evening (at our request & expense) & typically go for 3 hours or more – extremely painful & labourious – this is because of our nightmare owner who needs to attemt to dominate, control, argue, ridicule etc all other attendees including our managing agent. One agent sacked us, one upped the fees for our 4 lot plan to $3,500.00 pa. They end up being scared & wary of this guy. Luckily he has moved out & has his unit leased & it is still for sale, has been for the last 3 years due to it being overpriced & the levies being around $12,000 per annum due to his 45% unit entitlements (that he thought he could use to control the plan – pity he didn’t do his research & discover special resolution requirements of 45% & ALL his plans involve taking over exclusive use of common property in a manifestly unjust & unfair way).
Personally, I would like our meetings held at the property as our current managing agent has no idea of what our somewhat ‘unique’ property is like & this makes discussions difficult.
We have 4 lots tha used to be holiday flats that were built 40 years ago & were not strat’d properly at all. The layout is odd to say the least.
