Broader scope of property management

WE refer to the letter “Tailor management services to meet specific needs” (The Star, Sept 27). It is important to clarify several key points regarding self-management and the broader responsibilities of managing strata properties.

The Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents, and Property Managers Act 1981 (Act 242), which regulates professional property managers, does not disallow self-management by joint management bodies (JMBs) and management corporations (MCs).
