I'm looking at a property in NSW.
There are 3 units on the block, they all appear to be conjoined.
Currently one unit owned by one OO, and 2 by an Investor.
The investor is selling both his units, and the OO is maintaining their.
The REA tells me there is NO body corporate, but the council and water rates are levied on the whole block, and they have their own insurance.
One of the units has been contracted by another OO, and i'm looking at the third.
I'm confused as to how they can be no body corporate structure in place.
can anyone advise on this ? THe way I see it, if I buy the unit, the land title is potentially NOT in my name, and therefore I wouldn't be able to be forced to pay land or water rates, and if no body corp, i can't be forced to contribute to the ongoing maintenance etc of the common property ?
