Background
Adcocks Conveyancing was approached by a Strata Group of 7 unit owners who had been trying to convert their strata title to a community title for 20 years, but to no avail. The different owners and multiple failed attempts at title conversion had resulted in friction amongst the owners and caused a lot of emotional distress. Despite these challenges, the current owners had agreed in principle for the title conversion and Adcocks was tasked with making it happen.
