Good Evening

I live in a 100 year old brick apartment block with a flat roof that has 2 x fibre clad laundry huts and a similarly structured studio apartment of approx 30 to 40 square metres in size situated on it. The studio apartment does not have an independent lot status, so is considered part of common property.  For several years in times past it was rented out, but this activity ceased after some residents were nervous this activity fell outside of the law and did not want to take the risk.  It is now empty and used for strata meetings only.

As the building requires extensive maintenance and funds will need to be raised, the idea of either renting our outright selling the apartment to achieve this, has been presented, but no-one has the expertise to be able to ascertain whether either of these options is viable and the conversation often ends up going in circles. 

Can anyone advise;

A.what kind of lawyers or professionals would be best qualified to obtain advise from

B.Can you recommend any in particular?

C.Can you point me to any previous forum posts which relate to this issue?

Thanks
