Burst geysers are a common cause of insurance claims in sectional title schemes, so it is worth knowing who carries the cost before one fails.

The rule is clearer than most owners expect. If a geyser serves your section, it is yours to maintain, repair and replace, even when it sits in the roof space on common property and even where the scheme's policy insures it. Where one installation serves more than one section, those owners share the cost in proportion. Only a central system serving the whole building falls to the body corporate.

The scheme's policy may respond to the damage, but the owner whose section the geyser serves still carries the upkeep and usually the excess.

Sandak-Lewin Trust sets this out for owners and trustees upfront, and encourages regular checks on older geysers, so responsibility is understood long before a claim arises.

When a body corporate installs prepaid water or electricity meters, owners often assume the body corporate must then maintain and replace them indefinitely. That assumption does not always hold.

A recent High Court judgment confirmed that installing a prepaid meter does not, on its own, place a permanent duty on the body corporate to maintain, repair or replace it. Responsibility is decided by looking at the resolution that authorised the installation, the scheme's rules, any agreement with the service provider and where the equipment sits.

Sandak-Lewin Trust helps trustees and owners establish where that responsibility actually sits in their scheme, so the question is settled before a meter fails, not after.

What does a financially healthy scheme look like?

Angus Sutherland breaks down the fundamentals: strong trustee oversight, healthy cash flow, effective debtor management and sufficient reserves for long-term maintenance.

The Glen Apartments in Camps Bay shows these principles in practice, financially stable, well managed and well maintained.

Good financial management today protects the scheme for the future.

A scheme runs on the levies its owners pay. When contributions fall into arrears, the shortfall does not disappear. It shifts onto the owners who do pay, and it puts pressure on the funds the scheme depends on.

Recovery follows a defined process rather than being left to chance. Arrears are tracked, interest may be charged where the rules allow, and unpaid amounts are followed up and, where necessary, taken through the Community Schemes Ombud Service or the courts. The aim is to recover what is owed while keeping the scheme’s cash flow stable.

Consistent, unemotional follow-up is what keeps arrears from becoming a scheme-wide problem. Sandak-Lewin Trust assists trustees to manage levy collection with clear records and a steady process, so the owners who pay are not left carrying those who do not.

Some decisions require more than a simple majority.

Justin Josias explains how special and unanimous resolutions are used for significant decisions within sectional title schemes, from changes to sectional plans to the alienation of common property.

Higher approval thresholds help ensure major decisions are made fairly, transparently and in line with the relevant legislation.

A special levy is not the same as your ordinary levy, and it works differently. It is raised to meet a necessary expense that cannot reasonably wait to be provided for in the next annual budget.

Here the authority sits with the trustees. Where a genuine, unavoidable cost arises, the trustees may raise a special levy by resolution, and it becomes payable as they decide, without waiting for an AGM. That power is a limited one: it is meant for expenses that are necessary and cannot be delayed, not for topping up ordinary shortfalls. And owners are not without a say. Where members who together represent at least a quarter of the scheme ask for it in writing, the trustees are obliged to call a general meeting so the matter can be discussed.

What owners should expect from a well-run scheme is context, not a surprise line on a statement. When a special levy is raised, Sandak-Lewin Trust assists the trustees and sets out the reason, the estimated cost, and the payment terms clearly, so owners understand what the levy is for and why it could not wait.
