Strata titled holiday apartments on the east coast of Australia first
came about well over a quarter of a century ago as a means of building
holiday accommodation in large building complexes without the whole
resort being owned by a single identity.
A ten storey building could then be built with each seperate apartment
sold off to the public and one of the apartments to a resident
manager who maintained the whole resort. They kept the gardens
maintained, cleaned the pool and generally looked after the building.
The other role they played was to rent out the apartments of owners to
vacationers as an onsite real estate agent.
All this looks great and while the building is relatively new doesn't
cause any great problems.Once the apartments become aged and in need
sprucing up a bit it is up to each owner to then renovate there own
apartment. Many owners don't understand or simply refuse to update to a
standard you would like to stay in on holiday. Older buildings can then
have a variety of standards of accommodation and not all apartments
look like the glossy brochures you see.
Apartment managers actively encourage owners to update, as the quality
of apartments on offer, if left to decline will adversely affect there
business.
It is important that you either check with managers what your standard
of accommodation will be or you book through a company that will insist
that there buildings are maintainted at certain standard to come under
there banner.
