The law governing unit titles is substantially different to the law when buying freehold property.
According to the MBIE, the Unit Titles Act 2010 is the law governing building developments where multiple owners hold a type of property ownership known as a unit title. This combination of individual and shared ownership of property means owning a unit title entails a separate set of rights and responsibilities compared to owning freehold property.
