3 litigation matters on record
Tribunal and court decisions naming this scheme as a party. A litigious building is more likely to be carrying unresolved disputes, defects, or levy fights.
-
Building-defect dispute on record
A matter touches building defects or rectification work. Ask whether the work is funded and whether the builder's warranty still applies.
Statutory warranty: structural cover likely expired (est. 4 May 2022); non-structural ran to 4 May 2018. NSW Home Building Act periods: 6 years for major or structural defects, 2 years for all others. Estimated from the registration date, not the completion date or building contract, so treat the dates as indicative.
-
No recent annual reporting on the Strata Hub
We could not find a current annual return for this scheme on the NSW Strata Hub. That may just be a gap in the public data, but a non-reporting scheme can also signal a disengaged committee, ask for the last two AGM minutes.
Cost exposure
Elevated exposureAn indicative, itemised estimate of what one lot here could face, built only from this scheme's public-record signals. Indicative ranges, not this building's actual figures, and not financial advice.
Special levies are apportioned by unit entitlement. Set this from your contract; 1.0× is an average lot.
| Driver | Good | Expected | Worst |
|---|---|---|---|

Indicative per-lot serious-defect rectification levies (NSW Serious Defects in Residential Apartments research report, 2021; strata special-levy reporting). Scaled for: 2 matters. | $8,400 | $28,500 | $95,300 |

Estimate only. Figures are indicative ranges from public remediation programs and reporting, apportioned to one lot; they are not this building's costed works and not financial advice. Obtain the capital works fund balance, any special levy resolved or proposed, and a strata records search before you transact.

Decisions naming this scheme as a party, from NSW Caselaw (NCAT and the courts). The line beneath each matter is the decision's own catchwords, quoted; the topic tag is our grouping of those words and reads "Other" when they do not clearly fit, so you can always check it against the source. Every matter links to the full decision. Whether a matter helped or hurt the scheme is not assessed here.
Decisions, in detail
Read from each decision's own text: the parties and their roles, who presided, how it ended, and the money in play. Every row links to the source.
- Lenux v The Owners – Strata Plan No 88786 [2024] NSWCATAP 46 Repairs and common property · Respondent successful K Ransome, Principal Member; J McAteer, Senior Member
The appeal against the costs order was granted on procedural fairness grounds; however, the Appeal Panel affirmed that costs should be awarded to the Owners as the lot owner had undertaken unauthorised works to common property without proper approval and refused to accept this throughout the proceedings.
