    I’m with Kaindub on this.  Strata schemes run on a wink and a nod are great … until they’re not.  Then they’re a disaster.  If you like the unit, get a thorough building inspection done before you buy in.

    Then gradually nudge the other owners towards doing things properly.  Telling them that their informal arrangement will put future buyers off, as it almost did you, as there will probably be no long-term maintenance plan (which is mandatory).

    Small schemes often get by on one meeting a year (the AGM, which is also a committee meeting).  Software like Stratabox will allow you to self-manage in a professional way so that future purchasers will not be deterred.
