Hi
looking at purchasing a property on a small strata scheme – 2 properties, no common property, different looking places – different coloured bricks etc.
was interested to know 2 things.
a. can we separate the properties so they aren’t on a strata scheme anymore but stand alone properties
b. is it possible to put an extra level extension on the existing property?
accodring to the real estate, the other people are owner occupiers and they have mentioned they do not care what is done to the other property (because as I have mentioned above, they don’t even look similar).
thanks in advance!!

I doubt that there would be no areas of Common Property within the site that you’re looking at, but in any case there are are significant differences between the Planning Laws applicable to the development of Strata Titled land and those that apply under Torrens Title, so I’d say that there’s almost no possibility that the former could easily be converted to the latter post development.
Have a talk with the local Council, and while you’re there, also discuss the possibilities of an extension to the Strata property in circumstances where you could, if your proposal is “approvable” by them, provide Council with a minuted Special Resolution of a General Meeting of your Owners Corporation outlining its prior consent – because that’s what you would need, even though there are only 2 Lots.
