27 APRIL TO 1 MAY 2020
Important amendments to the Stata Titles Act 1985 (WA)
On 1 May 2020 a series of major reforms to the
Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA) came into force providing for
buyers to be better informed, improving strata management and
providing for a more efficient dispute resolution process through
the State Administrative Tribunal.
Before the reforms came into force, the Act only required
sellers to provide a limited amount of information about the strata
scheme or lot. Certain information need only be provided under
certain circumstances, leaving buyers with limited information
about the strata scheme they are buying into. The seller's
disclosure obligation was generally satisfied by ticking all the
boxes in the old Form 28 Disclosure
