Details

Population growth, rising property prices and the dream of a new lifestyle have made body corporate living more and more popular in Australia. Living in an apartment, unit or townhouse can be a rewarding experience, but body corporate life can also be confusing. In this book, expert author Stephen Raff clarifies the rules and answers vital questions such as:

What should I look out for when buying a strata property?
What are the responsibilities of the body corporate, owners and tenants?
How do committee meetings work?
What fees will I have to pay?
Who takes care of maintenance?
What happens if I get into a dispute?

Packed with revealing case studies and state-specific information, The Body Corporate Handbook is a comprehensive guide to every aspect of strata life for owner-occupiers, tenants and investors.
