Beware ‘shared’ strata searches of the public files.
I hear that maybe half strata searches are carried out by uni=students wanting to earn extra money… so reciter to carry out these 30-45min searches … without training etc.
Our latest sale relied on a ‘share’ strata search… paid for by the selling agent
and given to all interested parties at the same time as the contract.
Pity it was about 70/80% wrong/inaccurate… Huge gaps on the pro-forma set
form… Most missing items, i.e,. asbestos, etc. omitted altogether… but not pressed for by the searcher, etc… just left blank…
The building was said to have been built in 1981… instead of 1912!!! Hopeless…
I am still pressing the NSW Law Society to improve the disclosure standards for its strata Contract of Sale/Purchase… Strata purchasers are lambs led to the slaughter… Yet the govt. expects 4 mill of us to live in strata/.community homes right now!!! while so many of our normal Human Rights are constantly being removed/concealed/omitted…
