What is a Company Title?
A company title is a form of property title that proves you have ownership in the “body corporate” of a building. Essentially, you’re a shareholder in a private company along with all of the other property owners of the building. If you’re curious about the advantages and disadvantages to a company title, then please read on.
Advantages of a Company Title
- Generally less expensive than Strata Titles
- Generally easier to resolve issues with the management of a company title building
Disadvantages of a Company Title
- Share value may not increase at the same rate as ownership with a Strata Title
- The “company” of shareholders must approve the purchase or rental of a unit
- Banks and lending institutions may be less likely to approve a loan for a Company Title
Technically, you don’t own the unit when you have a Company Title. Instead, you are ashareholder in a company that owns the building, which grants you rights to live in a particular space.
NOTE: It is essential to obtain a Company Title Report before making a purchase.
