Cork, Ireland's second city and the 'rebel capital', has a booming apartment market driven by multinationals — Apple, Amazon and Pfizer are headquartered nearby, bringing a growing tech workforce and a shortage of professional OMC management. The PSRA / IPAV Cork registers licensed property managers across Munster. IgeraFincas adapts responses to each development's constitution and always cites the exact MUD Act section in plain English.
In Ireland, OMC law is different
The Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011 (MUD Act) and the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 set specific obligations for developers, OMCs and owners. IgeraFincas knows both.
Majority required for works
Board decision for ordinary works within approved budget; EGM simple majority for special levy
75% AGM majority required to amend house rules (s.24 MUD Act)
Mandatory sinking fund
Every OMC must maintain a sinking fund for major repairs (s.18). Amount set annually by AGM
Recommended minimum 10% of annual service charge; IgeraFincas explains automatically
Developer handover obligations
Developer must repair snagging for 12 months post-handover; OMC can pursue via s.24 compliance notice (s.2-6 MUD Act)
Developer must provide s.6 certificate confirming common areas comply with planning permission
Short-term letting restrictions
In RPZ areas (Cork City), short-term letting >90 nights requires planning permission (2019 Regulations)
OMC house rules may additionally restrict Airbnb-style lettings regardless of planning law
IgeraFincas indexes the MUD Act 2011, the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009, and the RTB regulations. When an owner asks about works, levies or letting rights, the system automatically cites the correct section — in plain English.

Frequently asked questions — Cork
Does IgeraFincas know the Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011 (MUD Act)?
Yes. IgeraFincas indexes the MUD Act 2011, the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 and the OMC constitution and house rules of each development. Responds in English. PSRA-licensed managers in Cork can configure IgeraFincas to prioritise Irish law in all responses.
What majority is required for works in an Irish OMC?
MUD Act 2011 s.24: ordinary works require a board decision within the approved budget; works requiring a special levy require an EGM resolution by simple majority; amendments to house rules require an AGM resolution by 75% majority. IgeraFincas applies the correct threshold automatically depending on the type of works.
How does the mandatory sinking fund work in Irish OMCs?
MUD Act 2011 s.18: every OMC must maintain a sinking fund for major repair and replacement costs. The amount is set by the AGM. IgeraFincas explains the rules and typical contribution levels automatically — no need for owners to wait until the next meeting to get an answer.
Can IgeraFincas help with developer handover disputes in Cork?
Yes. IgeraFincas indexes MUD Act s.2-6 on developer obligations and handover requirements. It explains the exact procedure for reporting snagging, accessing common area records and requesting the s.6 certificate confirming that common areas comply with planning permission.
What is PSRA registration and why does it matter for Cork OMC managers?
The Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA) requires all property managers handling client funds to hold a licence. IgeraFincas is a support tool — the PSRA-licensed manager in Cork retains professional responsibility for all advice given to owners. IgeraFincas reduces the volume of routine queries so licensed managers can focus on complex issues.
