It’s unfortunate that you have had a bad experience and many of us have had similarly frustrating times. However to dismiss all of strata and all strata professionals because things didn’t work out the way you wanted is, frankly, ludicrous. It sounds like you may be better suited to a free-standing house – some people simply are – but, personally, despite all the hassles I have endured over the years, I wouldn’t live in one for quids.
