Owners: We need your help

[Ant & Pete]

Dear Owners at 166 Wellington Parade,

We are the owners of unit 210 and we need your help! You should have all received a letter from Vic Body Corporate Services today with postal ballots to approve two special resolutions. One is for the building of a office in the foyer area and the second is to approve a lease of stairs in unit 210.

We are a young family that has been living in unit 210 for 6 years. With the recent arrival of our little boy, we are selling our one bedroom apartment with the intention of purchasing something more appropriate for our family. It has come to our attention that there is an error in the Plan of Subdivision. The boundaries of our home are incorrectly marked and the internal stairs, which is the only access to our home, have mistakenly been marked as common property.

At present we have a buyer for our home but cannot settle the sale without rectifying this issue. We need you to tick IN FAVOUR of the motion on the ballot paper to allow us and future owners to lease this space from the Owners Corporation. Please ensure that you respond as a non-response is counted as a NO vote.

I will shortly attach a file with photos.

Please contact us if you would like to have a look or would like more information.

Thank you!!

Here are the photos of our stairs. As you can see it is obvious that the stairs never been intended to be Common Property but are intended to be part of unit 210.

Hi
I just rent here so I can't help with your ballot but surely all the owners of this place would vote in favour?
It must be a stressful time right now, but I wouldn't worry too much, I couldn't imagine any fair minded person voting against your proposal.
Good luck, you will be fine.

And congratulations on your new baby boy

Thanks Matt. It has been very stressful and it was quite a shock initially.

We are just trying to sell our place as it is. In order to that we need to rectify the error. We are following legal advice as the lease is the easiest and quickest solution.

We hope people understand and vote in favour.

Thank you for your support!

Hi everyone,

We've had a query about the two crosshatched diagrams in the letter sent to owners. Just to clarify, we are not asking to lease any of the tiled area in the front of the three front doors.

There are two diagrams, first storey and second storey. The first storey crosshatch begins at our front door and the second storey diagram shows the stairs and the landing which are inside our apartment but for which we need to get this lease for.

Feel free to contact us if you would like to see it for yourself.

Thanks everyone!

Hi all,

Just a reminder to get your ballot votes in the mail before close next Friday 2nd August. There are still more than 50% of owners that haven't voted so if that is you, please vote asap! Thank you!!

Conrats Ant & Pete!
heard from my neighbours (owners) that your lease ballot thing was approved.

Hope now you can sell your unit and move to bigger house in a more family friendly area.

Thanks Matt!

Yes, the lease to our stairs has gone through thank goodness!

Thanks for your support!
