Strata Title

This Glossary Item on Strata matters also continues on 'page 2' of this Glossary listing as shown on the bottom of this page.

Strata Title: A system of land title based on the horizontal subdivision of air space. In practice, plans of a building are registered, containing internal units marked as to their boundaries, and each allocated a tot number as in a plan of subdivision. The system is used to provide a certificate of title for each unit within a residential, commercial or factory building. 

Strata Title Survey costs are dependent on the number of units AND the number of floors involved. In addition, if the title is a Sketch By Way of Illustration then a conversion survey to create a Torrens Title will be required, together with the necessary Lands Titles Office fees. With a Strata Survey, the surveyor certifies that the buildings are within the title boundaries; it may be necessary for the surveyor to undertake at the least an Identification Survey and quite possibly a Remark Survey to register his opinion of the boundaries and support his Strata Certificate.
