Managing property well comes down to consistency, accuracy and knowing what’s required at every step. That’s the goal we work towards every day at Fitzanne Estates and why we’ve chosen to use WeConnectU as our property management system.
WeConnectU is a South African-developed platform that allows us to manage all aspects of community schemes and rental portfolios in one place. It’s a practical solution that helps us work better, stay on top of compliance, and keep things transparent for the trustees and owners we support.
Why We Use WeConnectU for Property Management
WeConnectU brings structure and clarity to the parts of property management that are often difficult to manage at scale such as reporting, compliance, communication, and financial administration. Because it’s built for local property laws and industry needs, it supports the way we already work rather than adding unnecessary complexity.
It covers everything from levy invoicing and reserve fund tracking to minute books, insurance records and performance reports. We’re able to manage more properties with more control and less risk, without increasing administrative pressure.
Practical Benefits for Trustees and Owners
For community schemes, one of the biggest challenges is staying compliant with the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act and the Community Schemes Ombud Service requirements. These aren’t optional. Missing a deadline or mismanaging records can create costly problems. With WeConnectU, all compliance tasks are built into the system so we can track what’s needed, when it’s due, and where every document sits.
Financially, the system offers real-time reporting. That means trustees get accurate insights into cashflow, expenses, arrears, and reserve funds. It’s easier to explain the numbers at AGMs and make informed decisions during the year. For owners, the portal makes it simple to check balances, download statements, and access notices, reducing back-and-forth calls or emails.
Reliable Processes, Fewer Bottlenecks
One of the reasons we chose WeConnectU is that it reduces knowledge gaps. If someone’s on leave or moves to a different portfolio, the records don’t disappear with them. Everything is logged and visible to our team, so nothing falls through the cracks.
It also supports interdepartmental collaboration. Our accounts, maintenance, compliance, and support teams all work from the same system, reducing miscommunication and duplicated work.
Built for Scale, But Grounded in Detail
Because of the platform’s workflow automation and built-in task tracking, we can manage more portfolios without compromising attention to detail. That’s important for schemes that have complex needs or unique administrative challenges. WeConnectU allows us to customise our approach where needed while maintaining a clear structure.
Meeting administration is another area where the platform has helped. With the WeconnectU Meetings tool, we can host online AGMs or trustee meetings that meet quorum requirements, allow for real-time voting, and keep accurate records.
A Property Management Tool That Supports the Way We Work
WeConnectU isn’t a silver bullet, and it doesn’t replace the need for knowledgeable property managers. What it does is give our team the tools to do their job properly, consistently, and with fewer obstacles. It reduces administrative clutter and makes space for service.
At Fitzanne Estates, we take our role as a property management agency seriously. That means delivering well-run schemes, clear reporting, and support that owners and trustees can rely on. The systems we use—like WeConnectU—help us uphold that standard.
If your scheme is looking for a managing agent with the right tools and experience to match, we’re available to speak.
