I'm looking at buying an apartment and have seen one in a building which is a strata scheme in a Community Association. It also contains two neighbourhood schemes, one of which, is a group of townhouses built around a central swimming pool. Who do I pay levies to? The owners corporation of the strata scheme or the Community Association? Do I also have to pay for the upkeep of the pool, even if I don't use it?

Thanks

Hi Duffstuff,

You may wish to confirm with your solicitor/conveyancer as to the exact particulars for this property, but ordinarily you will only pay levies to the strata scheme, the strata scheme as part of it’s budget will include contributions to the community scheme. You will need to look at the community management statement and the budget for the community to determine a. If the pool is community property and b. If the community is paying for the maintenance of the pool.

Hope this helps

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
