body corp

[tj22]

hi all bit of a dumb question but if a property is a villa etc stand alone in a complex body corp does not cover damage done to the outside of this property? just community structures (etc swimming pools..)?

if you have 2 townhouses joined together, share the same roof and external walls. would body corp cover that?

cheers

You'd have to check the strata plan to be sure but generally all external walls belong to the owners corp as well as shared walls (with the neighbour). Internal walls that don't face onto a neighbour are owners property.

Roofs and roof space also are the responsibility of the owners corp but depending on the strata plan there may be a by law that passes exclusive use to the owners so then they become responsible for it.

Good luck!
