April expenses: Why do they increase above inflation?
“The 4.53% increase in April’s expenses already begins to reflect the first effects of the exit of the exchange rate. Although the item of salaries and social loads – which is still the one with the greatest weight – had no modifications this month because it depends on new peers, we do start to see adjustments in the items linked to general service providers,” he says Nicolás BaccigalupoCEO and Founder of Octopus Proptech.
In addition, Baccigalupo stressed that many increases “They seem to be preventive” with suppliers that anticipate a possible inflationary acceleration in April and especially in May. “It also begins to influence the change of season, with the ignition of boilers, stoves and airs in heat mode, which increases public services consumption. But this time, the increase is not explained only by a seasonal issue: there is a change of expectations that already impacts the costs,” he added.
April expenses: What is expected for the coming months in services and expenses?
“In the coming months there could be a progressive increase in item 2 that includes the services and variable expenses of the consortium,” Baccigalupo explained, while stressed that the Gas consumption will begin to feel strong between May and Augustalways depending on the area and the type of heating that each building has, since it is an expense that represents a significant part of the expenses, especially in consortiums with central heating or hot water per boiler.
“From Octopus we always recommend anticipating: review the status of the facilities, program preventive maintenance and communicate well to neighbors about the use of resources.
