I wanted to ask about special levies. Living in an older set of over 160 units ,which is over 30 years of age. I believe that large special levies were not the only way that the OC has of raising the required funds for large expenditure items e.g. roof replacement. These large special levies are very difficult to afford especially by retired & single parent owners for example. What other ways can be employed to spread the load over a longer time ?
Many Thanks

In fact, Paul Morton, their main man, puts up a fairly compelling argument for NOT saving up your pennies in large sinking funds and instead using strata loans as and when you need them.
Go to our HOME page, scroll down and click on the Lannocks ad then give them a call. It’s a viable alternative and well worth exploring.
