Southern Sectional Title Management

I am in the process of selling my apartment and and hit a number of roadblocks. However, the support I got from SSTM was phenomenal. Great service & thank you Paul & Team.

What is sectional title management?

Sectional title management involves comprehensive administration of sectional title schemes, including levy collection, financial management, maintenance planning, and compliance with the Sectional Titles Act. SSTM specializes in this area with in-depth understanding of the legislative requirements that govern body corporates in South Africa. The company handles everything from day-to-day administration to long-term capital planning for properties in Rondebosch and across Cape Town.

What is a 10-year maintenance plan and why do I need one?

A 10-year maintenance plan, also called a Maintenance, Repair & Replacement Plan (MRRP), identifies the current condition of capital items on your property, when they need maintenance or replacement, and estimated costs for budgeting purposes. SSTM in Rondebosch prepares these forecasts as required by the Sectional Title Schemes Management Act, helping body corporates plan financially for major expenses like roof replacements, waterproofing, and structural repairs. This planning prevents unexpected levy increases and ensures your building remains well-maintained.
