Unit Entitlement (UE) Apportionment and Reapportionment
Unit Entitlement Valuations Made Easy in NSW with Landlink Valuations
Unit entitlement valuations play a vital role in the structure and fairness of strata schemes in NSW. Understanding how entitlements are calculated — and when they can be adjusted — is essential for developers, strata managers, and property owners.
At Landlink Valuations, we are recognised as one of the leading property valuation companies in NSW, providing trusted guidance for unit entitlement valuations, strata subdivision assessments, and compliance with legislative requirements. Our certified professionals ensure accurate, market-aligned valuations that support transparency, equity, and harmony within strata communities.
What Are Unit Entitlements?
In a strata scheme, each unit is assigned a proportion of ownership in the common property, known as unit entitlement. This percentage not only defines voting power at meetings but also determines the financial responsibility each owner bears for levies, maintenance, and capital works.
For instance, a larger unit with superior amenities may attract a higher entitlement compared to a smaller, less-equipped unit. Precise unit entitlement valuations ensure these divisions are fair, transparent, and legally defensible.
How Are Unit Entitlement Valuations Calculated in NSW?
Valuations must be conducted by a qualified and experienced professional — ideally a member of the Australian Property Institute (API). Several factors are considered:
- Market Value of Units – Higher value units attract proportionally higher entitlements
- Unit Size and Layout – Larger or better-designed units can influence entitlements
- Access to Amenities – Exclusive access to courtyards or terraces increases valuation
- Position in Scheme – Units with views or better orientation may have higher shares
- Contribution to Common Property – Special features can justify different weightings
Can You Use a Unit Entitlement Calculator?
Online tools or calculators may seem convenient, but there is no universal formula for calculating entitlements. Property type, design, location, and legal obligations must all be considered. Only a certified valuer like Landlink Valuations can provide the accurate, tailored assessment you need, especially when planning for SMSF Valuations, strata disputes, or development projects.
How to Change a Unit Entitlement in NSW?
Adjusting unit entitlements requires a formal process:
- Initiate an Application – File with NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT)
- Commission a Valuation Report – Conducted by an accredited valuer.
- Notify Affected Owners – Strata participants must be informed.
- Attend NCAT Hearing (if needed) – If disputes arise, the tribunal reviews the evidence and valuation.
Why Professional Valuations Matter in Strata Schemes
Incorrect entitlements can lead to disputes, unfair levy distributions, and legal challenges. A professionally-prepared house property valuation or unit entitlement valuation ensures transparency and fairness for all owners.
Landlink Valuations is widely trusted across NSW for:
