Unit Titles Subdivisions

What is a Unit Title Subdivision?

A unit title subdivision is commonly associated with multi-level apartment buildings or terraced housing developments. This type of subdivision allows individual ownership of units within a property while sharing ownership of common areas like driveways, hallways, or communal facilities. Unit title subdivisions provide clarity and structure for property owners and developers, making them a popular choice for modern residential and commercial projects.

Adapting to Changing Legislation

The landscape of unit title subdivisions has evolved significantly over the years, particularly following the introduction of the Unit Titles Act 2010, which replaced the outdated 1972 legislation. The changes were largely driven by issues like leaky buildings, which highlighted the need for stricter regulations.

Why These Changes Matter

The reforms introduced by the Unit Titles Act 2010 ensure greater clarity, transparency, and fairness for all parties involved in unit title subdivisions. By addressing the issues of the past, the new legislation fosters confidence in unit title developments and provides a stronger foundation for future projects.
