Why is it so expensive to have unit entitlements reviewed? The government sets the rules for Strata and it should be seriously reviewing how to look at this issue fairly and streamline the process to make it make sense!
i live in a 3 bedroom villa of 10. There are 7 x 2 bdrm villas. 1x 3 bdrm & 2x 2 bdrm town houses. All different scale. I have 13/100 UE but not the largest interior space!
However my home has no view as the others enjoy. My levies are 13% and others are 9%. I get all the noise and inconvenience of every delivery car and truck, every visitor to site knocks on my door , my 2 neighbours opposite installed solar without strata approval , on their rooftops overlooking the driveway and that has become my ugly view ! and I volunteer on the committee because majority of owners dont participate.
My UE simply means I pay bigger levies for a smaller return !
Anyone else in same boat ? I would be interested in hearing of anyone being successful in challenging the status quo of disproportionate UE’s as no doubt there are some of us paying higher levies which doesnt really make sense.
I have a 3 bdrm single level villa with 13/100 UE in a complex of 10. There are 2 townhouses who each have 12/100 UE and the largest square meterage and Biggest footprint. There are 7 x 2bdrm single level villas of varying square meterage each with 9/100 UE.
I do not have the largest square meterage despite having the rating of 13/100. This affords me nothing other than the highest fees.
I believe the unit entitlements were set incorrectly when the strata plan was initially set up forty years ago.
Im interested in any comments or suggestions /ideas about UE’s where in a complex of 10 every premise has different square meterage and I think should be re surveyed to reflect living space for levies.
I welcome any flatchatters ideas/suggestions/recommendations.
<!–more–>Im very interested in this post. I have 13/100 in a complex of 10. 8 are single level villas with 7 of them holding 9/100 each and 2 are townhouses holding 12/100 each. Mine has 3 bdrms and the 9 have 2 bdrms.
All premises have varying square meterage. The 2 townhouses have the largest square meterage and the largest footprint yet hold 12/100 each.
I think they were initially rated with mine given the highest UE based solely on number of bdrms highest then townhouses then 2 bdrms. I do not have the largest living space even with the 3rd bdrm.
It will be an unpopular move to upset the status quo, but How do I go about getting a change to UE’s to reflect the differences in square meterage in each Of the 10 Units in the complex which would be a fairer distribution of levies. ?
I welcome your Comments /suggestions from flatchatters who may have encountered similar situation or pros and cons.
