Unit Titles - Supplementary Record Sheets
A supplementary record sheet records the ownership of the common property, any legal interests registered against the common property or base land, and other information such as the address for service of the body corporate and the body corporate operational rules.
Unit Title-owners own a defined part of a building, such as an apartment, and share ownership in common areas such as lifts, lobbies or driveways. 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.
Residential unit title properties are typically apartment blocks and townhouses. Commercial and industrial types include office blocks, industrial or retail complexes, and shopping malls.
