The first step to being involved in the affairs of your body corporate is to ensure the body corporate has your name and contact details.
It is a statutory obligation that you inform your body corporate of your ownership of a lot in the scheme. Generally your solicitor should advise the Body Corporate that you have purchased a lot by submitting the official change of ownership form. Sometimes, however your legal advisor may inadvertently overlook the required notice. We recommend that your first action is to notify your Body Corporate by writing to the Body Corporate Managers advising of your ownership and your address details.
When notifying your Body Coporate of your change of address it is pertinant that you also provide contact telephone numbers and email address. This information should always be provided in writing by the registered Lot owner.
Don't forget change of addresses. There is so much to remember to do when you are moving. Forgetting to advise your body corporate manager of your change of address can be costly, if your levy notice does not reach you at your new address you could be responsible for paying additional late payment fees, interest on late payments and you could miss out on a discount.
