Abstract

This study is on problems of property management and solution. The total population for the study is 200 staff of selected properties in Abuja. The researcher used questionnaires as the instrument for the data collection. Descriptive Survey research design was adopted for this study. A total of 133 respondents made managers, secretaries, supervisors and securities were used for the study. The data collected were presented in tables and analyzed using simple percentages and frequencies

 CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1      Background of the study

Property management to a non Professional Estate agent entails mere collection rent. Real property management goes beyond mere collection of rent. A property manger gets involved with managerial problem solving and decision making. He also performs several activities and tasks involving planning, organizing, directing and controlling with respect to the portfolio of real estate assets being managed on behalf of his clients. This is important since one of the features of real property that distinguishes it from other investment media is its requirement to be managed. Because of the increasing pace of technological development or innovations resulting particularly in the construction of high rise and high technological structures in our cities, there is need for a trained manager who is able to cope effectively and efficiently with management problems arising from the latter. Multi – tenanted properties such as office blocks and residential houses present the greatest management challenge to the surveyor.

The author’s experience of non-challant attitude of a good number of property investors regarding the management of the property prompted the choice of this topic

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Multi tenanted properties such as office blocks and residential houses present the greatest management challenge to the surveyor. This is important since one of the features of real property that distinguishes it from other investment media is its requirement to be managed.

On this background the researcher wants to investigate the problems of property management and solution

1.   To examine the problems of property management

2.   To ascertain the impact of effective property management

3.   To proffer solutions towards rectifying these problems

1.4 RESEARCH HYPOTHESES

For the successful completion of the study, the following research hypotheses were formulated by the researcher; 

H0:   there are no problems of property management

H1: there are problems of property management

H02: there is no impact of effective property management

H2: there is impact of effective property management

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study will give clear insight on problems of property management and solution. The study will be beneficial to properties owners and the managers of the properties.

b) TIME: The time frame allocated to the study does not enhance wider coverage as the researcher has to combine other academic activities and examinations with the study.

c) Organizational privacy: Limited Access to the selected auditing firm makes it difficult to get all the necessary and required information concerning the activities
