      Our top floor owner has a large exposed area as a balcony as part of her title. The wooden decking of this area has rotted and an inspection shows that the drains are blocked and this has meant that the bearers and decking need replacing plus the waterproof membrane is old and probably should be renewed at the same time

      The Strata Manager says the any repairs to an external balcony are the responsibility of the Body Corporate but some of us feel the we should only look at reimbursing for the drain clearing and membrane replacement as theses are things that protect the fabric of the building. and that the costs associated with any surface work (new timber or tiles) should be borne by the owner who hasn’t maintained things well. Any thoughts?
