After firstly perusing this site several months ago, I was disappointed at the limited information on company title home unit blocks; in fact that frustration extended to finding anything on the internet in general, relating to these older style unit blocks based on Corporation legislation. Everything seems to relate to Strata Title unit blocks.How about it Jimmy???? I want and need some answers??? can you write about this so that the Hmmmm....., 250+ buildings in Sydney( or elsewhere for that matter) that are company title have an informed opinion about what changes can be in store for us??
If you had read the website a little more carefully before firing off this posting you would have discovered that we have a section on Company Title (FYI, it's called 'Company Title'). Just two weeks ago I posted a piece there about the new legislation, which also went in my newspaper column, and which you can read HERE. It also has links to the a longer explanatory article by our strata lawyer sponsors.
It's hard to glean from your posting what it is that you want. Do you want to make it easier for people to take legal action or are you afraid of the 'can of worms' that this will open?
However, I can assure you that the fact that Company Title Owners had to go to the Supreme Court didn't dissuade some of them from pursuing petty cases. And I can tell you that a lot of strata owners wish the had the simple first resort of taking cases to the Magistrates Court
You've demanded that I provide answers - it's very hard when you don't even seem to know what you are asking. Answers to what?
Meanwhile, can I just suggest you read the material on the website a little more carefully before you start firing off postings criticising us for not having material that's been here for weeks?
Then if you have a question we will try to answer it.
By the way, there is so little information about Company Title because very few people living in Company Title buildings ever write to us. Also, it makes up a tiny minority of the apartment dwellings in Sydney and it comes under Company law so there is no template for dispute resolution as there is in strata. Every Company Title building has its own rules and regulations so there is no one-size-fits-all response to any questions, as there often are in Strata.
