LEVY FUNDING

SUSTAINABLE AND RELIABLE FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS
The collection of arrear levies

In Community Schemes

There are a vast number of community schemes (body corporates and homeowner associations) in South Africa that struggle to operate functionally as a result of levy non-payment by unit owners. This often results in paying unit owners either having to subsidise non-paying unit owners levy amounts via special levies or doing without vital services and maintenance to the common property.

In some cases, the consequences of non-payment of levies are even more severe. This occurs when even necessary expenditure (such as basic utilities and municipal accounts) cannot be paid. In these cases, there is an immediate negative impact on ALL unit owner’s property values, daily living conditions and financial obligations to their community schemes.

KEY FEATURES OF THE LEVY FUNDING FACILITY

Repayment only occurs when the community scheme collects its arrears
The community scheme can operate effectively on a fully-funded basis as if all unit owners were paying their levies
Interest costs incurred are added to the arrear levy debtor accounts (i.e. interest on arrears is matched to the loan interest rate), therefore the paying unit owners aren't prejudiced by the costs of the arrear levy funding or repayment thereof.
The community scheme and its managing agent maintain control of the legal process and the collection of arrears (arrear levy debtors remain on the community scheme’s balance sheet)

For Body Corporates And Homeowner’s Associations

Community schemes frequently face the challenge of needing to promptly address unforeseen service or project needs without having sufficient funds readily available to do so. The community scheme is then forced to raise a special levy to gain the funds necessary for the service or the project, thereby placing undue financial pressure on unit owners.
