What are the advantages of cooperative housing?
The main advantage lies in the final cost of the property. In a cooperative, the property is purchased at cost price, without the developer’s profit. This represents a saving of 30% compared to homes of the same characteristics offered by private developers.
What does it mean to belong to a housing cooperative?
Housing cooperatives are groups of people who share the objective of acquiring a home. For this reason, they join together in a society to promote the construction of self-promoted housing. Therefore, the member of a housing cooperative is both the self-promoter and the future owner of the home.
Normally, as they do not have the means and knowledge to carry out a property development, they need to hire a property management company. The cooperative management company provides management and advisory services to the cooperative throughout the entire process. From the acquisition of the land to the delivery of the homes.
What is a cooperative management company?
A housing cooperative management company is a commercial company that provides its services to cooperatives. In exchange for a fee agreed between the two parties, it makes all its knowledge and experience available to the housing cooperative.
Naturally, the management of a housing cooperative is complicated and it requires a professional manager to guide the project. The manager is in charge of all the administrative, technical and legal aspects of the house building process.
personalHOME is a housing project management company with nearly 25 years of experience. Our main activity is focused on the promotion and management of housing. We fully manage property developments for self-developers, investors and housing cooperatives.
We are a leading company in the management of cooperatives due to our experience, reliability and professionalism.
What functions does a cooperative management company perform?
Logically, cooperative management companies carry out highly specialised professional work. The comprehensive management of the developments includes the direction, coordination and execution of work in different areas. Their main tasks are usually:
- Technical: Land location, feasibility studies, project management and supervision, design of real estate programmes, management of urban development plans, management of licences and qualifications, selection of construction companies, works control, building reception, etc.
- Economic and financial: Accounting and financial management of developments, credit management, mortgages, account control, etc.
- Legal: Constitution of Cooperatives, contracting and deeds for the purchase and sale of land, housing, premises, services, works, minutes of assemblies, inscriptions, mortgages, agreements, compensation boards, etc….
- Commercial: Marketing management, information and development of advertising campaigns, contracting management.
- Social: Attention to the members of the communities, management of assemblies, organisation of commissions, management of the delivery and follow-up of housing. – Urban planning:
- Urban planning: training, management and control of participation in compensation boards, urban development agreements, reparcelling projects, etc.
In short, it coordinates and exhaustively monitors the development until the homes are handed over to the cooperative members.
How many people are needed to form a cooperative?
The minimum number is determined by the legislation in force in each autonomous community, which differs. For example, in the Valencian Community, regulated by Legislative Decree 2/2015, of 15 May, of the Council, which approves the revised text of the Law on Cooperatives of the Valencian Community, article 9.3 establishes a minimum of 5 for the constitution of a housing cooperative.
For its part, in the Community of Madrid, regulated by Law 4/1999, of 30 March, on Cooperatives in the Community of Madrid (LCCM), there are 3 people who can set up a cooperative.
How is a housing cooperative regulated?
The main legal norm that regulates the activity of a housing cooperative in Alicante is the Legislative Decree 2/2015, of 15 May, of the Consell, which approves the revised text of the Law of Cooperatives of the Valencian Community depending on each autonomous community.
In addition, co-operative societies have their own statutes, which set out the rules and regulations governing the structure, governance, operation of the organisation and the rights and obligations of the members, and which, in any case, must be in accordance with the law. It is compulsory for the housing cooperative to provide the bylaws when the member joins the housing cooperative.
The Law on Cooperatives, the statutes, the agreements of the general assembly and the governing council are binding on all those who are members of the cooperative; however, both agreements contrary to the law (null and void agreements) and those contrary to the statutes (null and voidable agreements) can be challenged in court.
How long does it take to set up a cooperative?
The average duration of a cooperative housing development is two to three years when the land is already urban and suitable for building. In any case, the longer time frame allows for greater accessibility to the payment plans that are characteristic of housing cooperatives.
