Management Rights Sales Briefing – Standard Module (Boutique Complexes)

Selling in Surfers Paradise in 2025

Prepared by Norton’s Real Estate – Selling Agents for Residential and Commercial Property Rights on the Gold Coast

🔷 Section 1: What Are Standard Module Management Rights?

Standard Module MR schemes are typically found in:

• Residential buildings under 50 lots

• Complexes with limited amenities (e.g., pool, gate, shared gardens)

• Strata bodies where caretaking and letting are less intensive

• Owner-occupier or mixed-use environments

• Buildings with longer-term tenants or private owners (not short-stay)

These rights are easier to manage, require less compliance, and are ideal for:

• Retirees exiting the industry

• Couples living on-site

• Passive investors with outsourced caretaking

🟥 Norton’s sells MR packages for Standard Module complexes between 15 and 50 lots, particularly in Surfers Paradise fringe zones, like:

• Northcliffe

• Chevron Island

• Peninsular Drive

• River-side streets

🔷 Section 2: Key Features Buyers Look For in Standard Module Rights

"Simple MR packages are now outperforming complex high-rise ones in terms of buyer demand."

🟥 Section 3: Selling Your Management Rights – What You Need to Prepare

Before listing your MR business, Norton’s recommends preparing:

🟥 ✅ Verified net profit over 12 months
🟥 ✅ Accountant-prepared financials
🟥 ✅ Copy of your Caretaking and Letting Agreements
🟥 ✅ CMS (Community Management Statement)
🟥 ✅ Rental pool breakdown (vacancy, average rent, tenure)
🟥 ✅ Updated maintenance schedule (if applicable)
🟥 ✅ Any records of disputes or BC correspondence

Norton’s works closely with your accountant and solicitor to package these documents into a buyer-facing MR sale brief — saving time and maximising trust.
