      I was recently trying to work out which walls were common property in my townhouse so I could work out what renovations I can do without waiting for OC approval. But even with much research online about how to interpret them, I couldn’t work it out.  

      I got advice from the LPI and eventually the advisor came to the conclusion that the Strata Plan did not make sense given the actual plan of the house.  He said that unfortunately I can’t just use common sense to guess what the surveyor intended but need to refer back to the original surveyor to ask about it.

      He gave me a number for the surveyor but it is not correct.  I have googled him but I think he may have retired.  (The SP was done in 1994, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he had)

      So what is the next step?  

      There are 14 identical (or mirror image) townhouses in the complex, all with the same mistake on the plan, and evidently no one else in the last 20 years has found the need to check if the wall down the middle of the house was common property or not.  Or been confused why some of the external walls aren’t.  Am I being terribly pedantic?
