Strata Schemes

Strata schemes at Raymond Terrace and its surrounding areas present unique challenges. Unlike freestanding homes, strata complexes operate under distinct laws, making them inherently intricate. With multiple owners, each bringing their individual personalities into a shared space, it’s crucial to have clear rules, regulations, and by-laws to ensure harmony within the complex. Naturally, disputes can arise in such settings. This is where the expertise of a strata lawyer becomes invaluable. Key legislations guiding strata schemes include the Home Building Act 1989 (NSW), which oversees the residential building sector, and the Strata Schemes (Freehold Development) Act and Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, which detail ownership rights, responsibilities, and dispute resolution within strata schemes.

Our Services

At Contracts Specialist, we provide comprehensive strata law services tailored to the unique needs of Raymond Terrace and its surrounding areas. Our expertise spans a wide range of strata matters, ensuring that our clients receive the best legal support.

Recovery of Levies

Owners Corporations often face challenges in recovering levies from strata title lot owners. As per the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW), the Owners Corporation holds the right to recover any outstanding contributions, along with interest and reasonable enforcement costs.

Defect Claims

In the initial years following the registration of a strata plan, the Owners Corporation may encounter building defects such as water ingress, cracking, peeling, and settlement issues. The Home Building Act 1989 (NSW) empowers the Owners Corporation to initiate proceedings to enforce statutory warranties, aiming to recover the costs of rectifying such defects.
