Property Management Services Authority Conducted Interview with the first Property Management Company which Successfully Bid for the “Joint Property Management” Service Contract

Enhancing the Property Management Industry’s Understanding and Awareness about “Joint Property Management”

In order to further improve building safety and building management, the Policy Address set out that next year, the Government would implement a pilot scheme on "joint property management" in selected areas, under which the same property management (PM) company would be engaged to provide joint management services for aged building clusters in the vicinity, enabling "three-nil" and aged buildings to have access to basic PM services at affordable fees. The Property Management Services Authority (PMSA) revealed today in the PMSA Blog its interview discussion with Synergis Management Services Limited, the first PM company which successfully bidded for a “joint property management” pilot scheme service contract, and sharing its arrangement and plan for PM service provision to Dragon Mansion and Kwok Ping House, two “three-nil” buildings in Kowloon City. The arrangement and plan include priority to assist the owners’ corporation set up to act so as to ensure compliance with the law, and to provide PM services in accordance with the actual needs of the buildings, and also to introduce advanced technology for service provision in order to enhance PM service efficiency and save cost, etc. The blog seeks to enhance the PM industry’s understanding and awareness about “joint property management”.

Dr James Wong, Chairperson of the PMSA said, “There are still some ‘three-nil’ buildings in Hong Kong which have not established owners’ corporation or any form of residents’ organisation, and have not engaged PM company to manage the properties. If these properties lack proper management, not only will the quality of living for the residents be affected but building and community safety concerns may also arise. The PMSA will fully support and work in accordance with the directions and measures included in the Policy Address and maintain close contact with all stakeholders, and actively drive the PM industry to participate in the ‘joint property management’ pilot scheme so that residents of ‘three-nil’ buildings and old residential buildings can receive quality and professional PM services.”
