When your buyers become committee members
Real estate developers in Chile hand over buildings with administrators in place — but rarely provide buyers with the knowledge to understand their rights and responsibilities as co-owners and committee members.
New buildings, unprepared committees
When a new residential building is delivered, the first committee is often formed from buyers who have never served in this role. Without preparation, early committee decisions can create problems that last for years.
Uninformed Oversight
Committee members who don't understand their legal authority may fail to hold administrators accountable, leading to mismanagement that affects all co-owners.
Unfavorable Contracts
Without knowledge of how to evaluate maintenance contracts, new committees may agree to terms that don't serve the building's interests — creating long-term financial exposure.
Assembly Dysfunction
Poorly run assemblies, decisions made without proper quorum, and procedural errors can create legal complications and community conflict in new buildings.
Education as part of the handover
Tivlume can be incorporated into the buyer education process — giving new co-owners access to structured learning about their rights, obligations, and committee responsibilities before they're asked to exercise them.
For developers, this means delivering buildings where the first committee has a foundation of knowledge — reducing the likelihood of early management problems and the disputes that follow.
Everything a first committee needs to know
Legal Framework
The rights and obligations of co-owners and committees under Ley 21.442 — what the committee can and cannot do, and how decisions must be made.
Common Expenses
How gastos comunes are structured and calculated — enabling committee members to review expense reports with understanding and ask the right questions.
Administrator Relationship
What the administrator's contract should contain, how to evaluate their work, and what the process looks like for replacing them if necessary.
Reserve Fund
The legal requirements for the reserve fund, what it can be used for, and how to ensure it's properly maintained from the building's first year of operation.
Maintenance Contracts
How to run a proper tender process for maintenance services — protecting the building from unfavorable agreements in its critical early years.
Assembly Procedures
How to call, conduct, and document assemblies correctly — ensuring decisions are legally valid and the process is transparent to all co-owners.
