Thanks Jimmy T.It is useful to point out the differences between the roles of ‘strata manager’ and ‘building manager’. These terms and roles can sometimes be confusing.
In another Forum comment Jimmy T stated: It is OK for the owners to delegate the roles of chairman and secretary to the strata manager (for which he and she will be paid) and under the new laws building managers and letting agents can’t be on the committee unless they are also owners.
The differences are explained here:
Actually all I am trying to ascertain is if a strata manager can hold an office bearer’s position. I am aware they can be delegated powers but can they be an office bearer?
I spoke with OFT today and their advice was while they can be delegated powers they can’t hold a position but when pressed on the relevant part of the new legislation couldnt provide me with a convincing answer.
It’s all pretty confusing.
