Strata developments carry a statutory framework governing common property, share units, maintenance charges, the management body and the handover from developer to owners.
Where documentation is weak, disputes follow over what is common property, how charges are apportioned, what the developer still owes, and whether the management body has authority to act.
Strata Development and Management Documentation
Documentation and advisory for strata schemes — developer obligations and handover, share unit and charge apportionment, by-laws, management corporation constitution and authority, service and facilities contracts, and dispute handling.
