New Owners Purchase Into Both the Assets and Liabilities of a Scheme

When purchasing in a Sectional Title Scheme, buyers take on more than just a home – they also become financially responsible for the shared obligations of the Scheme.

Here’s what every buyer should know:

  • Shared Responsibility – New owners take on a portion of the Scheme’s assets and liabilities, including arrears and planned maintenance.
  • Due Diligence Matters – Reviewing the Scheme’s financial reports before buying helps avoid future surprises.
  • Long-Term Impact – Unmanaged debt or poor governance can lead to reduced property values and unexpected levies.
  • Professional Management Helps – Transparent, well-managed Schemes protect the interests of both current and future owners.
