Kate Yeowart from Strata Equity Management comes on the show today to talk to us about the different titles property can have, how an owner's corporation is involved and knowing what you need to be responsible for.
Owning a property doesn’t necessarily mean that you have the right to do what you want with it. Sometimes you need to get Owner’s Corporation agreement to change anything externally, sometimes it’s just not allowed based on the title. Knowing what type of title you are buying before you buy can make it all a lot easier to accept what is possible and what isn’t. Today we want to know how to decipher what title is what, and we have REIV member, and the director of strata equity management in to tell us all about it.
