Article 03 of 74

Buying into a complex? Check the scheme as well as the unit.

A sectional-title purchase includes an interest in the wider scheme. The financial health, rules, maintenance planning and governance of the body corporate can affect monthly costs, future special levies and the experience of living there.

Scheme-specific reminder

Community-scheme rules can differ. Always check the current rules, approvals and documents for the specific complex or scheme.

What to know

  • Request the current management and conduct rules.
  • Review recent AGM minutes, budgets, levy statements and audited financial information where available.
  • Ask for the 10-year maintenance, repair and replacement plan and the reserve-fund position.
  • Look for major planned works, disputes, arrear levies and insurance concerns that may affect future owners.
