How to Record a Property Sale or Lost Management

Modified on Mon, 16 Feb at 3:34 PM

Property Sale or Lost Management

The Property Sale or Lost Management form is completed by a Property Manager and submitted to the Trust Accountant for processing.

Location:
Properties > Property Sale or Lost Management

Use this form when:

  • A property has been sold, or

  • The management agreement has ended.


Important – Property Sold but Management Retained

If the property is sold and management continues:

  • Duplicate the property with the new owner’s details.

  • The previous owner remains responsible for:

    • Outstanding debtors and payments up to settlement.

    • Variable outgoings reconciliation to settlement date.

  • Property Managers must provide clear settlement instructions to the Trust Accountant.

  • The original property is made inactive once:

    • Funds are nil, and

    • Settlement has been finalised.

All charges raised prior to settlement remain against the original property.
