Unit Entitlement Property Valuations
A unit entitlement refers to your share of a strata scheme and is used to calculate: The amount of levies you have to pay; Your voting power in the strata scheme; Your share of the common property; Your right to any compensation paid by a government entity; Your right to any surplus funds in the owner’s corporation’s fund.
Unit entitlement is extremely important and could cost you money and opportunities if your share has been incorrectly valued. You could either end up losing out on compensation, paying higher levies than you should or having your voting power reduced.
Generally, unit entitlements are calculated based on the developer’s estimate of the market value of a unit within a development. A developer calculates the unit entitlement based on the value of the ‘unimproved’ site, without considering the value of any buildings or structures on the unit lot. The developer may base their valuation on the size of the lot and land values at the time of valuation.
