Question 1

Where do owners pay their communal fees?

Accepted Answer

Owners pay directly into a dedicated bank account managed by Essensia Property Management. This ensures that all payments are securely tracked, properly recorded, and transparently reflected in the complex’s and owners financial reports.

Question 2

Will the complex have a dedicated bank account?

Accepted Answer

No, to minimize banking costs and streamline operations, Essensia uses a centralized account for all complexes. Each property is assigned a unique payment reference number, which allows our system to accurately identify and record every owner's payment under the correct complex and unit.

Question 3

What happens if I forget to indicate unique apartment number?

Accepted Answer

If a payment is made without the unique unit number, our system will flag it, and the amount will not be credited to the complex or unit until it is properly identified. This triggers a manual investigation, which may cause delays.
Owners are encouraged to review their detailed payment and maintenance records, which we provide regularly. If a missing payment is noticed, the owner can notify us and share the payment details, so we can correctly allocate the funds.
To avoid delays, we strongly recommend always including your unique unit number when making payments
