New Consumer Guide explains apartment owners’ rights and responsibilities under new legislation - The Multi Unit Development (MUD) Act 2011
Q. I OWN A house in an estate in Dublin 5. Although it was built in 1990, the common areas were never handed over to Dublin City Council by the developer. While a management company has been established, not all homeowners pay the management fee for upkeep. There are problems, such as the fact that Bord Gáis will not bring gas into the estate unless the handover occurs and the Council’s unwillingness to deal with illegal dumping or graffiti within the estate’s boundary. Is it possible to compel DCC to take over common areas of the estate?
CONVEYANCING COMMITTEE: The committee has received a number of queries as to the effect of the act on sales of existing apartments and houses that are covered by the act ('units') and is satisfied that the position of the owners has been strenghtened by the new legislation.

Commercial Property
O’Dwyer Property Management has been appointed to the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) professional service provider panel, for the provision of property management services related to enforcement and insolvency.
COMMERCIAL property deals will surge next year as NAMA begins to sell land, receiverships increase and new tax measures encourage the sale of hotels, according to Guy Hollis, the managing director of CB Richard EllisIreland.
PROPERTY DEVELOPER John Fleming has filed for bankruptcy to a British court, which will allow him to emerge from the process after a year, compared with up to 12 years under the Irish system.
If the outgoing government got one thing right in this budget, it’s the radical overhaul of the stamp duty regime. The cutting of all duty under €1m to a flat 1% will at last provide us with levels of that tax more typical of those charged in other countries.
The property changes in the budget have shocked many homeowners and commentators for different reasons.
This Bill (which has now been referred to Dáil Éireann for consideration and
is currently at Second Stage) implements the recommendations contained in the Report of the Auctioneering/Estate Agency Review Group (October 2005). It will introduce a new regulatory scheme for auctioneers, estate agents and other providers of “property services” such as management agents. read more...
