Buyer Beware: Bastardry in the Body Corporate

by Michael Andrew

Overview

If you're considering apartment living, this book is for you.

When I moved to an apartment I imagined I was gaining a low-maintenance home. I didn't realise I would swap cleaning my gutters and mowing the lawn for fighting a petty clique to fix the flooding in my garage and consulting lawyers to protect my privacy and reputation. 

I hope you'll find my story educational. In my view, Australia's body corporate system is broken. Our building committee, body corporate managers and complex managers all breached the Body Corporate Act many times, and the systems that should have allowed me to hold them to account were expensive, slow and ineffective. 

Buyer beware!

About the Author

Michael Andrew was raised with love and discipline in a military family in Sydney's western suburbs. He entered the NSW Police Force straight after high school, and enjoyed the adrenaline rush of running down the road and crash-tackling an armed offender who'd just robbed a bank. His greatest honour was the rescue of a rock fisherman at North Palm Beach, for which he was awarded a certificate of bravery from the NSW Royal Humane Society. After 21 years' service, Michael was medically discharged from the police force.Michael's greatest achievement, however, is raising his daughter - now an adult. He does not like bullies, or anyone who takes advantage of others, preferring animals and kids.
