    Thanks Whale,

    The SBL provides the option of ‘engaging a structural engineer but if the issue is then proven to be settlement, costs are worn by the lot owner’. By what you are indicating, this whole SBL could be unlawful.

    I’ll do some digging into Section 62 clause 3(b) that you have mentioned and make sure I am fully across its interpretations before going back to them and making representation.

    I am located on the top floor, I was recently in the unit directly below as it was open for inspection and there was no sign of cracking or settlement. I will ask the neighbors if they have any issues. Block is 15+ years old so would be surprised if  it has suddenly decided to ‘settle’ and only affect my unit, then again, I am no expert in this area!

    Need to do a little more detective work I think but really appreciate your advice Whale.

     

    Cheers
