An estate-wide decision is the biggest property decision most owners will ever face, and you do not make it alone. Whether your estate is approached by a developer, debates a collective sale, or simply ages, the numbers and the rules decide how it ends.

These articles cover what the rules say, what past payouts actually became, and what to check before your estate votes.

What I look at for an estate

  • Age of the estate and its lease, and where it sits against the consent bands.
  • Management and sinking fund health, because a weak MCST changes the vote and the price.
  • What a payout really buys after stamp duty, and what you would do with it.
  • Your own timing: retirement, a child buying, or a move you already planned.
