How to deal with pesky En Bloc Sale Committees

WILL I ever get to live in peace?

My condominium’s third sales committee disbanded a few months ago. We thought we had seen the last of them due to the tough economic times. But I received a new circular in my mailbox last week, saying yet another sales committee wants to go en bloc. Just as I was heaving a sigh of relief and thinking that I could now renovate my apartment, too.

When will it end? Surely as a condo resident I have the right to peace and quiet in my abode for some length of time? I am past 60 years old, and in my twilight years, the thought of looking for a new environment troubles me greatly.

And if my condo could not go en bloc in good times, why on earth would anyone want to sell in bad times?

Could the authorities please revise the en bloc laws to include a realistic time bar on bothersome, repeated en bloc attempts, and to make it difficult to en bloc during a bad economy? If the price does not meet the desired en bloc price of two years back, no sale should be allowed.

How to deal with pesky en blocs

Letter from Chong Wan Yieng


Head, Corporate Communications


Ministry of Law


.
WE REFER to the letters “Just leave me alone!” (Dec 16) by Lee Siew Hua and “A loophole, a headache” (Dec 19) by Yeo Han Tiong.
.
We would like to clarify that the legislation already allows the subsidiary proprietors of a strata-titled development to decide on the tenure of an en bloc sale committee. A sale committee may be dissolved by way of ordinary resolution at a general meeting of the management corporation.
.
Owners can therefore vote on the dissolution of the sale committee anytime, either at the annual general meeting or at an extraordinary general meeting of the management corporation. This approach provides flexibility to subsidiary proprietors to decide the term of the en bloc sale committee elected by them.
.
We thank the readers for their views.

He will get to live in peace when he tells the enbloc committee he will agree to the enbloc. Then no one will bother him more. :p
