Hi, We are having an issues with receivers who have taken over from the developers. They are refusing to have trees and the like made safe as they say its a man co, issue. We have to date not taken over the common areas or snagged it. There is still over 15% of the developement not sold. Another issue we have is sound between the units, we were going to get sound tests done, but we dont know if there is any redress now the developers are in receivership? Anyone had similar issues that can give us some advise. Thanks

Hello, we have just become directors of our management company and are appointing a new agent to act as our manager. we are looking forward to working with them but wonder if there is a contract that we could provide them to cover the estates best interests, rather tha working from the contract the agent has prepared? Would appreciate your thoughts. Kind regards Suzannee

Hi I am a landlord in a development of 21 appts in Knocklyon, Dublin. The management company is Falcondale Ltd. The developers are Liam O Farrell & Co. We are having alot of trouble with the management company, they are not getting things done, they are spending the residents money without accountability, etc. All this is approved by the developers/ company directors – O Farrell Co. Basically there are 6 units in Garthywood that remain unsold & held by the developer. All the remaining tenants wish to 1. move to a different, better Property management company 2. Get the developers to resign as directors so we can take control of the property. This seems to be impossible because the developer will not stand down & continues to appoint Falcondale as the management company. Our AGM is coming up at the end of March & I would like to see where we stand legally to remove the existing structures?
Apologies for the long msg – Thanks

Odhran- ask the Developer or your solicitor to ask the developer for a copy of your keys. There is no way your management co. can do this to you!

Hi, I lost me keys to my apartment, these cannot be cut anywhere except through the management company who have told me that I cant get a copy of the keys as I am in arrears on my management charge which I know but I have an arrangement to pay a certain amount each month. Without keys I cant get in the front door anyone know what I can do. Thanks

Sorry, I am a little unsure from your reply.. do you have a managing agent ?
Have they issued a warning letter to the landlord ?

Meanwhile could you find out the names of the tenants ?
I will pm to advise you of how having the names is useful.

Do you have a managing agent. If yes, I would ask the MA to write or call the landlord of the unit explaining your concerns but not mentioning you or giving any info that in any way could implicate you.

If you do not have a MA please let us know and we will come up with a number plan.

Hi,
I own an apartment which shares a front entrance with one other apartment. Up until now this has not proved to be a problem, but recently 2 people who I found out are linked to criminals have moved in. I am very scared but don’t want to say anything as am fearful of what they might do. I have the landlord’s number and know him slightly but am unsure whether or not to contact him. Has anyone advice on this please?
