    Well said Struggler.

    I had no previous experience with “Strata” but fortunately I had a fantastic Conveyancer who explained things very clearly at Settlement of the purchase of my villa. 

    I only remembered a fraction of what she said, but Flat Chat has been a great education.

    It should be mandatory that Real Estate Agents know enough to let people know what is involved when buying into, or renting property owned by an Owners Corporation.

    One place I looked at was obviously for over 55's, and confirmed when I read the Contract.  The place was advertised as “suitable for over 55's” but a lot of younger people were at viewings and seemed to think it would not be a problem.  In another instance, a 30 year old complained in our local newspaper how unfair it was when he was told that he could not live in the place he bought, as it was only for over 55's.
