Unit Titles are a form of subdivision governed by the Unit Titles Act. These titles are freehold stratum estate created for separate units within high-density developments, such as an apartment building or a group of buildings. Every unit owner legally owns their space, and has a share in common property like entranceways, swimming pools, or gardens.

The unit title structure may be your best choice if you are developing a multi-storey office building or an apartment block. Subdividing the property into separate spaces will require a comprehensive unit title survey. Alternatively, you can also survey a completed building to clarify the extent of ownership of separate units, and define commonly owned areas.
