IF YOU ARE A BUYER

There are many changes to what is required to be given to a buyer before the contract is signed under the reforms to the Strata Titles Act.  The reforms aim to provide better buyer information to give the most relevant information to the buyer that has been set out in a clear way and that the buyer is aware of where they can get more information about what they are buying. The obligation is set on the seller to provide reasonable information to the buyer and on what grounds the buyer can avoid the contract if the information is not provided by the seller.

 

Engaging a STRATATAC Strata Consultant will save you time, money, and stress as we make sure that everything is done according to the Strata Amendment Act 2018 and the accompanying regulations.
