Issues in Nova Taipa Gardens
Since
the in-take of Nova Taipa Gardens, Nova Taipa Gardens Property Management
Limited strived to render professional services to our owners.
Following the set-up of Management
Committee in November 2012, we started to discuss with the Management Committee on various management
issues including management mode,
financial position, annual
budget and repair &
maintenance arrangements.
We submitted the Year 2013 Budget to the Management Committee for review and discussion.
The budget covered the expenditures of daily operations such as staff costs, car park security service, cleaning service fees, water and electricity charges, clubhouse operations,
insurance, management office expenses and various
maintenance contracts
of building services.
The average
monthly expenses for the first half year were around MOP
1.67 million. The expenses did not include the repair works due to normal wear and tear. It was discussed with the Management Committee that the management fee level at MOP 0.5/s.f. cannot
cater to the needs of various major repair works in near future.
With
reference to the current financial condition, due to
the
current management fee income and the
management fee arrears, the existing management fee level at MOP 0.4/s.f. could not cope with the daily operation
expenses. As the increase of management fee is yet to be resolved, all large scale repair
and maintenance works could only be
arranged
in priority. In order to ensure the
transparency of the building
financial condition, all income and expenditure are operated in an independent building account. Independent
accounting firm was hired to audit the building
financial statements and issue auditor’s
report. We had worked
with the Management Committee in order to let them have a clear picture of the
financial condition.
Due to
the age of the buildings, many builder works and building services are
required to be replaced or overhauled in
phases. Water seepage at the units of top floor had been reported and patch
repairs had been carried out. Since the seepage situation still occurred at other
locations, hence a comprehensive repairing of waterproofing at the roof top is required.
The cost of the works is estimated to be over MOP 200,000 which is
beyond the authority of the Management Committee to utilize the Communal Reserve
for individual item in accordance with the resolution of Owners’ Meeting in
Year 2012. After the management fee is revised, reserve can be built up for those repair works. Your kind understanding is much appreciated.
Regarding the Year 2014 Budget, it would be based on the expenditure of Year
2013 and take the inflation factor into consideration. We had
negotiated service contracts with contractors and
service providers for competitive market
price and provided details to the Management Committee for perusal.
We would continue to follow with the contractors of Fire Services System and
Car park Security Service.
We thank you for the valuable comments given by the Management Committee and our owners.
We would strive to enhance efficiency to better serve our owners by achieving cost effectiveness and management review. Thank you once again for your kind understanding to the above.
