What's the use of property fees? What if the property fee is too high?

Now the owners of newly-built houses need to pay property fees after receiving the house, and sometimes the property fees are charged quarterly or annually. The specific collection method can be negotiated with the property management company, but after the property management company collects the property fee, it needs to provide the corresponding property management services for the owners. Specifically, what is the use of property fees? What should I do if the residential property fee is too high?

What's the use of property fees?

1, so that the house has the function of preserving value.

Not only the car needs maintenance, but also the house needs maintenance. The premise of house maintenance is that the owner must pay the property fee. At this time, there will be no situation that the elevator is broken and no one is repairing it, and the community is overgrown with weeds. A properly managed community will naturally have the function of preserving or even appreciating value. If the owner doesn't pay the property management fee, the house will depreciate by 10%, and the buyer needs to lose 5%, while the appreciation of 10% means a net profit of 5%, so the property management fee will be paid.

2. Ensure the quality of life

For property buyers, everyone wants their house to be more comfortable to live in, but this is based on the premise that the owner has to pay the property fee. At this time, problems such as greening, public security, use and management of public facilities will be taken care of. When these problems are solved, the quality of living will naturally be guaranteed.

What should I do if the residential property fee is too high?

1, reduce the property fee.

When the owner finds that the property fee of the residential area where he lives is too high or the fee is extremely unreasonable. You can contact other owners to set up an owners' committee, and ask the property management company to issue a charging license and charging details in the name of the committee. If the property management company refuses to show it, a group has the right not to pay the property fee and can report a complaint to the property management bureau, because it is illegal for the property management company to charge unreasonable fees. As long as evidence can be produced, the owners' meeting can make a resolution to reduce or exempt property fees.

2. Improve the property level.

If residents find that the property service level of their own community has not reached its charging level, they can also report to the property management association, and the owners' committee will conduct business with the property company as a representative and ask them to improve their service level. The service level of the property company includes whether the gate security personnel are online 24 hours a day, whether the residential property service telephone is answered 24 hours a day, the sanitary situation of the residential area, whether the fire escape is unblocked, and the maintenance of basic public facilities.

3. Change the property management company

Although the property management company is owned by the developer when buying a house. However, according to the relevant laws and regulations, after the development of the community for a period of time, the owners' committee can publicly express its doubts about the property management company. In case of unreasonable fees charged by the property management company, the owners' committee can also invite public bidding to re-select the property management company, and the collection of property fees requires the new property company and the representatives of the owners' committee to re-negotiate and decide.
