Hi
I can see an error – the Ms…currently trying to sell her unit is one of the applicants. It is the villa next door.
The strata reports were so bad that four buyers have pulled out. Our strata was described as dysfunctional and un-financial.
There’s more.
In our application for a compulsory manager lodged in December was a great deal of info re a driveway tree 3m or so from my western wall. I had endeavoured to have this tree removed but council said no. The EC wanted to keep the tree even though it has grown massively. I think they are going to regret this decision.
The adjudicator in their dismissal did not even mention the tree. I had enclosed invoices from the plumber showing that the tree had invaded my sewer on numerous occasions.
The adjudicator, in the dismissal talks about events being ‘too remote in time” – perhaps they are referring to the driveway tree.
Recent damage, nothing to do with the upstairs area, resulted in the SM and and engineer I will call G….visiting some weeks ago. Two doors won’t shut, cracking to cornices, walls although this can be repaired, as it is ongoing I cannot do anything by way of repair.
The report by G…. will be presented at the EGM on Tuesday. G…. is a very reasonable person and I had a long talk with him today. He said the tree is the main issue, plus subsidence on the embankment next to my villa.
I told G…. that I had my own engineer called R…. inspect the upstairs area and the recent damage downstairs. R…. felt my villa would need underpinning. G….thought that would be a last resort, but felt that the main part of the problem was the roots, (the tree partly overshadows my villa), were taking the moisture out of the ground under my villa. He is recommending a root barrier. G….is happy to talk to R….
Any appeal would perhaps be based on the following;
1 The strata manager did not inspect my file at council so everything he said to the adjudicator was not correct.
2 The driveway tree was not mentioned in the dismissal and was now a major issue.
3 That the EC were engaging a solicitor with NO LIMIT TO THE LEGAL FEES BE SET.
That is a far as I can go today.
Cheers
Janet
