Just a quick update on the matter of Common Property Water Damage above.
Our Strata Manager, who currently is the Team Leader in a high profile strata company in Sydney, just sent us the following response:-
“Our previous advise is correct, regardless of what the insurer has advised. I have attached the DFT Who is responsible guide, if you go to point 13 on page 7 it will explain were the owners corporation are responsible for paint, and with that, the owners corporation would be responsible if we had to chop out a wall to get to a burst pipe etc, however I the paint is damaged purely from the problem of the water, then it is not the stratas responsibility. Paint has always been considered to be within the airspace of the lot, making it the owners responsibilty.”
Your thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Many thanks!
