Garage may not be on title?

I purchased a unit last year (2/1/1), however i just got an ANZ desktop valuation and it came up as (2/1/0). Also, a few property sites have also shown it as 2/1/0 (e.g. onthehouse)

When the property was listed it was advertised as 2/1/1 and i even inspected the garage. How can i find out for sure that the garage is on title?

Thanks

 

Look at your title/strata plan documents.

 

Hope you haven't settled yet?

 

B-Mac have you been able to confirm if the garage is included?

 

You do have a garage however it is not on title. Most likely to be covered under an exclusive use bylaw.

 

I had a client once who had a harbourside mooring attached to new apartment on a Finger Wharf Wooloomooloo title but it was a separate title and it got missed in settlement. A year later he had to revisit it all when he wasn't thumped with massive taxes on it prompting him to ask... a mess. Fortunate the vendor was co-operative. His lawyers ended up fixing it for free as it was clearly described in contract.

 

Settled over 7 months ago now.

No not yet. I will send the contract to my solicitor tomorrow and see what he says.

If it's not on title, Is this something they should have picked up?

I tried going over the contract of sale but everything is so hard to read (hand written diagrams of strata plan and lot numbers etc)

I hope I haven't been duped here!

 

Where would I find these documents?

 

Not if the ad was the only other place you've ever seen it referenced. The solicitor wouldn't have looked at it.

 

Where can i find these? Ive looked through my body corp docsd and cant seem to find anything?

 

How was the solicitor advised of the garage being part of the sale?

 

Have a review of the by-laws. There may be a special by-law granting each lot exclusive use to certain parts of common property ie a numbered garage.
