Our strata plan is located in Manly NSW. There are only four units in the block. When we bought, two women (playground bullies) had control of the Strata Committee, with the husband of one providing the muscle (he has aggressive outbursts if his wife doesn’t get her way). When the unit with the least voice sold, the dynamics of the building changed and with a new unit holder in the mix, the bullies have their noses out of joint. Basically, they’re refusing to participate in the SP, in fact stalling, unless it is of benefit to them.

In the context of above, both women have gutted and refurbished the interior of their apartments and there is no By Law to reflect interior works, only external works that impact common property. Other legal works also abound.

There is an action on the new unit holders to find a third party to audit illegal works.

Are there impartial third parties that provide illegal works audit services? We have the original building plans but, thinking about the nature of the people we’re dealing with, how accurate would an audit be? The new comer is particularly upset about noise post the installation of wooden floors.

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
