OWNERS CORPORATION CERTIFICATES
s.151 Owners Corporations Act 2006 and r.11 Owners Corporations Regulations 2018
What is an Owners Corporation Certificate?
A standard owners corporation certificate is provided by an owners corporation manager, to be inserted into a contract of sale for a property. It sets out a number of details of the owners corporation, for potential purchasers to review.
The standard owners corporation certificate provided by Melb OC satisfies all of the statutory requirements for vendors and conveyancers.
What is a Premium Owners Corporation Certificate (exclusive to Melb OC)?
For particularly astute investors or owner occupiers, Melb OC offers a premium owners corporation certificate package aimed at all astute buyers, looking to buy a property in an owners corporation managed by Melb OC.
Whether your property is an investment or a place to call home, Melb OC's premium owners corporation certificate provides significantly more details on the property, including any known combustible cladding issues, detailed finances, and insurance policies.
When you buy a stand-alone house, it is standard practice to obtain a structural report, or a pest report, to learn as much as you can about your new investment. At Melb OC, we believe that properties in an owners corporation should have additional information available to buyers as well.
