I’m looking again at the registered strata plan drawings: can I confirm that a solid line indicates common property? If so, there is a line extending onto each end of the balconies, which has a break about where the balcony doors are, and there is an S-shaped squiggle in that break. This would suggest that about 25% of the balcony wall at each end is common property, and that would encompass a portion of the lintels also. Common sense would then dictate that the whole lintel should be treated as common property.
Following on from this, if the Committee wants to propose a motion that all the lintels be adopted as common property, can this be done at an EGM? We have already called one for the purposes of approving the expenditure for the repairs, and I don’t think there will be any resistance to either proposal.
