I have thought of doing repairs myself FCF. But I would do this the week before I put this place on the market. I can honestly say that no one would notice me repairing common property. They all walk around with blinkers on not just the EC. And to fix the common property on my place and having it looking well maintained. – I estimate total cost would not be that great so would be happy to be out of pocket to be out of here! Total time for the works, half a day. The funny thing would be when the EC finally did get around to doing works in year or so they would repair the same areas because they just wouldn’t look! So there is no chance of getting into trouble for repairing common property.
I do think a lawyers letter would get their attention and get their back up. But there is too much to do now, they cannot possibly get it under control. I don’t believe they are capable of getting everything done. So a lawyers letter will cost me money, but nothing will actually be achieved, then I apply to CTTT to have declared dysfunctional. Though I am not ruling out a lawyer by any means. Something has to be done.
Have just found out that our new agreement for SM was only actioned yesterday. There seems to be a gap in time from old SM to new that I am trying to confirm. The more I have on them the better. I hope that the new strata reforms contain something making ECs more accountable. It isn’t that difficult. Someone tells you there’s a problem, if its common property get quotes for work, agree on quote, get work done!
