Ah. I missed that ‘Vicres’ might have suggested Victoria (slaps forehead). So, Victoria has some distinction like the ACT’s class A and class B units?
In the system I am familiar with, class B, is generally townhouses, generally horizontal strata, and the unit owner is responsible for repair and maintenance of the structures. IE. my roof and walls are mine to maintain. In the case of a party wall with an adjoined neighbour we have a shared responsibility for the wall.
In contrast, ‘Class A’ is generally vertical strata, typically blocks of flats/apartments, and you only ‘own’ the volume of air in the unit.
