Reply To: What Responsibilities Does The Developer Have To Remedy Faults?

Thanks for this. I would be interested in hearing what other people have experienced.

I bumped into a couple of people from the Strata Committee yesterday and told them I had retained a building inspector and now had the report. As there were several matters that related to comm0n property, I shared those with them. I think they too are quite concerned. Although I am concerned that there is too much optimism bias at play. These disturbing issues are not being relayed to individual owners appropriately.

Do you see retaining a lawyer as a last resort or first? And what about Fair Trading and/NCAT?

I have a great respect for the value of getting lawyers involved. I also know how much money they cost. The bottom line being, I don’t want to be the schmuck who picks up the tab for a suit letting everyone else a free ride!
