Do strata buyers get good consumer protection?

I'm heading off to the Gold Coast this week to take part in a debate at the Griffith University strata conference.  The topic is Purchasers are insufficiently protected in the strata title unit sale process.  Now, I could ramble on for hours about why this is the case but this is a unique opportunity for you FlatChatters to get your message out there.

Tell me your stories of how you feel you have been ripped off, cheated and under-protected (or otherwise).  No names please – either yours or the ripper-offers – let's keep this generic.  That way you can tell the whole story and I can sock it to 'em in the Sunshine state.
