The simplest response to the “buyer beware” argument is the Owners’ Corporation’s legal obligation to maintain and repair common property which is unlimited and unqualified.
Tell bully boy to get some proper advice before he starts throwing his weight around, especially with his “I’m alright, jack” attitudes. The “buyer Bewrare” applies to hjim – he shpouldn’t have bought into a scheme with defects if he didn’t want to help pay for them.
By the way, agreements made at mediation are not binding or enforceable, unless there is a written and signed contract to that effect. Another fact bully boy needs to be straightened out on.
Basically, if he blocks attempts to have this fixed properly, you need to seek orders at NCAT to force your neighbours to help pay for a proper fix.
I highly recommend SCA-NSW’s online executive committee training course (although it seems to have disappeared off their website for some reason). I will look into that.
