Common Areas and Services Management for Gated Estate Communities
There is a growing number of apartment blocks, town houses, and other gated estates that are owned corporately by different people. These properties are registered under the Sectional Properties Act, 1987 No. 21 of 1987 Laws of Kenya. Management of the shared areas and services in these estates is usually a problem in many neighbourhoods. Resident committees in these are composed of volunteers who may understandably not be able to handle the routine tasks of management over and above their personal endeavours. Yet the value of these estates is extricably tied to the management of the common areas.
Stalic Real Estate has developed systems to help resident committees take off the burden of service charge collection, accounting, budgeting, contracting services, repairs and maintenance, water meter reading and invoicing, arranging meetings, communications among other tasks. Most importantly we work with resident committees to boost cohesion, harmonize interests and strategic planning, maintenance of pleasant living environment. This boosts the value of the overall estate and individual properties as well, in addition to making it clean, calm and enjoyable place to call home. For investors, such focussed common area management increases the value of their investment.
