I own property within sectional title. Owners in our scheme have total disregard for sectional title law. I took our trustees to CSOS (Ombud - see HelloPeter CSOS), was not allowed to present a case resulting in an atrocious order. Asked BBM law to appeal the case with the High Courts within the 30 day time-frame given after having paid them a retainer. BBM Law took it upon themselves to not appeal the order and when questioned, are blatantly dishonest. To proceed, now more than 5 months later, will be at a higher cost and more wasted time - I no longer trust them. I have requested a tax invoice to question what they have actually done and for the money to be returned - that is not forthcoming. For R50,000-00, BBM Law have written our managing agent a 4-page letter (simply summarizing the CSOS order) and forced us to sell our sectional title unit out of sheer desperation. The corruption around sectional title is absolutely shocking, throughout the entire industry and all involved. I would never consider buying into sectional title again and would advise anyone against this form of investment. The appointed advocate stated - 'When you purchase a Sectional Title property, you give up all property rights' !!!!!!!!!! The legal fraternity are allowing this statement to be true, for obvious reasons.
