What is an Assignee Competency Report?
There are many reasons why a body corporate may choose to outsource the competency assessment of an assignee to Leary & Partners.

A caretaker is required to have a range of skills from administrative and social through to general cleaning, gardening and equipment management. Whereas the outgoing caretaker is focused upon selling the existing business, the committee is left with the task of ensuring that the new caretaker is up to the job.
