If your scheme was created prior o 30th June 1985, the building and areas outside the buildings are common property. Unless the boundaries have been moved by a resolution of the strata company at some time after 20th January 1997. This can be reached with Landgate. Common property is owned by all proprietors as tenants in common. This therefore confirms that the common areas, including fences, are the responsibility of all owners to repair, maintain and renew.
