Strata title is a form of ownership devised for multi-level apartment blocks. The 'strata' part of the term refers to apartments being on different levels, or "strata".

The strata title is the ultimate and conclusive proof of ownership for any stratified property, be it a condominium, commercial unit in a complex or shop-building, or just a simple apartment.

For one, without the strata titles, owners won’t be able to sell their properties with a straightforward Sale and Purchase Agreement - any transaction and transfer has to be done by way of an “assignment”.
