Sydney apartment and property title issues

Sydney property matters can involve strata apartments, company title buildings, off-the-plan contracts, mixed-use developments and high-value apartment stock. NSW has more than 85,000 strata schemes, and strata buyers may need to consider by-laws, levies, strata reports, building defects, legal matters, meeting notes, title information and section 184 certificates.

Company title is different from strata title. In broad terms, the title is held by a company and shareholders occupy parts of the building under the company's articles or constitution. Buyers should understand shareholding details, transfer approval requirements, occupancy rights, finance requirements and building records before committing.
