“Prof Paddock probably has no idea what a joy it is to be able to consult an accepted expert on the Sectional Titles Act and receive clear and concise replies, rather than the convoluted and vague opinions that we are bombarded with from self-styled experts.” – Feedback from a Paddocks Club Community Member (sectional title owner).

The most popular feature of Paddocks Club is the discussion forum; every workday, Graham is asked a range of questions by the Community Members. It is interesting to read the different types of questions from different role players and people who have different levels of experience in sectional titles or HOAs. Graham provides guidance and direction on the many decisions our members make in their various roles. These members are accountants, attorneys, auditors, bankers, chairpersons, developers, estate agents, managing agents, trustees, unit owners and more. There are currently over 250 Paddocks Club members.

We pride ourselves on the fact that our resources are up to date. When the amendments to the Sectional Titles Act regulations were made on 28 October, our members had access to the updated Act on the same day and we emailed the members a list of the changes and amendments. Graham has also created three videos on this subject, two describing the changes and one that cleared up some misunderstandings people have had about them. When the STSM and CSOS Acts come into operation, our members will be the first to know.

Other facilities at Paddocks Club include video tutorials – Graham addresses common misunderstandings that people have and explains legislation changes that are going to happen; weekly newsletters – which include industry updates and noteworthy discussions that members can learn from; and the Navigator – an interactive subject index tool, where you can quickly find all the references to a word or phrase in the Sectional Titles Act 95 of 1986, the prescribed management and conduct rules and the Sectional Title Survival Manual (electronic version). We also have a library of growing resources for all types of community schemes.
