Part 6 of the Form 2 seller disclosure statement relates to the body corporate. A body
corporate certificate must be attached along with a copy of the current CMS for the relevant scheme.
The body corporate certificate must come from the body corporate, or those agents engaged
by the body corporate. At this point this is the strata manager.
You may engage us to order your body corporate certificate directly from the relevant body
corporate or their agent.
We will be obtaining form 33 body corporate certificates for lots in a BCCM Act 1997 scheme
or form 18 body corporate certificates for lots in a BUGT Act 1997 scheme.
Order a Form 18 / Form 33 Body Corporate Certificate – $203.00 incl GST; or
Additional CMS not included in body corporate certificate – $47.00 GST free.
The certificate will be complete when supplied ready for inclusion in your seller disclosure
statement.
Every certificate we supply will include a CTS search which will confirm the dealing number
of the current CMS.
When will I need to order a CMS?
A current CMS must be included with the body corporate certificate.
A copy of the CMS may be included with the body corporate certificate provided.
However, they are only required to include by-laws so some will not give full documents.
Further, the document supplied, if any, may not be the most current document.
If the CMS is included with the certificate, or you have a copy of the CMS yourself, you will
not need another, provided that CMS is the most current document. The CTS search
included should allow you to confirm this.
If we have a copy of the current document we will include it with the certificate.
If we don’t however, then a copy will need to be purchased. If you have Corelogic or similar
you can do this yourself. If not, you can purchase from us for an additional $47.00 (GST
free).
A CMS can be ordered after the certificate is supplied.
Turnaround Times
We will be ordering everything urgently (24 hours) however it is up to the body corporate
whether they can fulfil the order within that timeframe.
If not, legislation allows five business days for supply of ordered and paid certificates.
In some cases, for instance if the scheme is self-managed, it may take longer to obtain the
certificate. We will liaise with your as issues arise.
Duplexes and inactive body corporates
A form 34 body corporate certificate applies to duplexes, but it will not apply to all duplexes.
Further, there may not be any active body corporate matters ongoing however that does not
mean a certificate is not required.
Please contact us directly to discuss ways to proceed.
