From: Alan Hill
Situation:
Individual buys into a Neighbourhood Association and doesn't receive levy notices because they have been sent to his old address.
Managing Agent doesn't receive Levy Payments so puts their Solicitor onto it.
Solicitor takes instructions, writes a few letters etc(presumably to his old address) and racks up a bill of $450.
Individual who has been living in Neighbourhood Association the whole time gets the bill for $450 6 months later.
Question:
My memory is a bit dim on this but......isn't it part of the conveyancing process for the individuals conveyancer to notify the Neighbourhood Association of the change of address?
If so, couldn't the individual simply pass this bill back to his conveyancer and say "pay this", you didn't notify them!
Note: I realise the response won't necessarily be 'professional' advice but just wanted to point a friend in the right direction.
Thanks guys.
