A step-by-step guide for co-owners<br\/><br\/><strong>Are you dissatisfied with the current management of your building, or is the current manager's contract nearing its end? <\/strong><br\/>Changing your Property Manager is often easier than expected. Although a property management contract is legally limited to a maximum term of three years, the transition does require a strict procedure according to the law on co-ownership. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we explain how to make the switch in four clear steps to a professional partner that truly represents the interests of your Owners Association <a href=\"https:\/\/parte.be\/en\/blog\/property-manager\/what-is-a-vme\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"3974\">(Owners Association)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1: Officially submit the agenda item<\/strong><br\/>To appoint a new Property Manager, this subject must be included on the agenda of the General Meeting (GM). You cannot decide this on the spot under 'miscellaneous'. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Timing: Submit your request in writing to the current Property Manager.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deadline: This must be done no later than three weeks before the fifteen-day period in which the meeting takes place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Tip: Ensure you have already requested <a href=\"https:\/\/parte.be\/en\/quote\/\" type=\"page\" id=\"1234\">quotes<\/a> from potential new managers in advance, so that co-owners know what they are voting on.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2: The vote at the General Meeting<\/strong><br\/>During the GM, a vote is held regarding the dismissal (or non-renewal) of the current Property Manager and the appointment of the new candidate.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Majority: A simple majority (50% + 1) of the present and represented votes is sufficient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decision-making power: The choice of a new Property Manager is an exclusive competence of the general meeting; the current Property Manager has no say in this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3: The official appointment<\/strong><br\/>As soon as the majority agrees on the new Property Manager, the decision must be formalized. During the meeting, one co-owner (often the chairman of the GM) is usually mandated to sign the new contract. This makes the appointment legally binding, allowing the new manager to start immediately.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4: A carefree administrative transfer<\/strong><br\/>A professional Property Manager handles the transfer behind the scenes. This includes: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Requesting the complete file (accounting, plans, contracts with suppliers).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The transfer of the Owners Association's bank accounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A thorough audit of ongoing files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A smooth transfer is crucial for the continuity of management. <br\/>This ensures residents experience no disruption from the change and the Owners Association gets the fresh start it deserves.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Looking for a transparent and proactive Property Manager?<\/strong><br\/>Would you like to know more about the possibilities for your building or are you looking for a <a href=\"https:\/\/parte.be\/en\/our-offices\/\" type=\"page\" id=\"526\">Property Manager<\/a> who prioritizes communication and efficiency? <br\/>Contact us today for a <a href=\"https:\/\/parte.be\/en\/quote\/\" type=\"page\" id=\"1234\">non-binding quote<\/a> or advice on your transition.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Did you know? <\/strong><br\/>If the Property Manager refuses to include an agenda item or fails to convene the GM in a timely manner, co-owners (holding at least 20% of the shares) can convene the meeting themselves.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A healthy Owners Association starts with clear communication and proactive management.
