Syndic for large residences: where structure and expertise make the difference
Why large residences call for a different approach
Large residences aren’t just a scaled-up version of a small apartment building, they’re complex sites with their own dynamics. Many private units, multiple buildings or blocks, shared technical installations and a large, diverse group of co-owners all mean the management works fundamentally differently.
Our approach for large residences
At Syncura, we combine 40+ years of experience with a personal, professional approach tailored to the complexity of your site. We build our management around three pillars.
Structured communication
In a large residence, clear communication is essential. We work with clear points of contact, an internal helpdesk and a digital portal where all co-owners can find their documents and information neatly organised. This avoids endless email chains and keeps everyone informed, with no surprises.
Clear financial reporting
The larger the co-ownership, the more important transparent financial management becomes. Syncura applies double-entry bookkeeping principles, draws up realistic budgets, closely follows up on arrears and builds up a healthy reserve fund for future works. Every co-owner receives a correct, traceable overview of the shared costs.
Proactive technical management
Lifts, heating installations, parking garages and shared spaces need continuous maintenance. We focus on proactive management and a strong network of reliable partners, so problems are prevented rather than solved only once they’ve escalated. This preserves the building’s value and residents’ quality of living.
Sub-associations: autonomous management within a single complex
Since the law of 2 June 2010, large complexes with at least twenty apartments can be split into separate sub-associations, each with its own autonomous decision-making authority. This means each sub-association can choose its own preferred supplier for its shared areas, without having to negotiate with every co-owner across the whole complex.
Technical challenges in large residences
Energy transition and renovation
Since 2022, an EPC for the shared areas of an apartment building has been mandatory. This certificate maps out the whole building’s energy consumption and forms the basis for future renovation plans. In many large residences from the 1970s and 80s, energy renovation is a key topic. We guide the co-ownership in planning, financing and carrying out these works.
EV charging points
More and more co-owners are considering an electric car. Installing charging points in a shared (underground) garage raises questions about financing, decision-making and fire safety. Through our sister company Trema, which specialises in the technical side of co-ownership, we offer a well-considered solution for this.
Fire safety
In a large building, fire can spread quickly, which is why clear evacuation plans and preventive measures are vital. Syncura places strong emphasis on fire safety, with visible evacuation plans, compliance with legislation and regular checks, so all residents live in a safe environment.
Digital management and full transparency
All key documents and information for your residence are neatly organised in one digital portal, accessible to every co-owner. This ensures efficient, transparent administration and smooth-running processes. Together with our internal helpdesk and quick follow-up, every co-owner in a large residence always knows exactly where they stand.
