As you say, if people sell their units after settlement the waiting list is not necessary but it is a handy list of possible buyers.

If someone's circumstances change and they need to pull out through the mechanism in the UCOL agreement, then the waiting list would be used.

However it seems to me that the value of our units has already increased significantly since we signed up for them a year ago, and even if people needed to pull out early they could get a better price by selling on the open market rather than going through the mechanism in the UCOL agreement.

There is still some use to the waiting list.  However I agree that there is now practically zero chance that the waiting list will give buyers any advantage beyond simply an expression of interest.  That probably needs to be communicated to people on the list.

Can we continue to have a waiting list where people have to pay to be on it? once the remaining units have sale and purchase agreements against them doesn’t ucol lose the right to decide who can have a unit so therefore it can’t be right to take money?

Eg we have signed a sale and purchase agreement so, subject to our making the final payment, we are the owners of our unit. If we want to sell maybe it would be handy for there to be a waiting list/list of expressions of interest but, as private owners, we can choose our own purchaser.

So paying $5000 would give no one any advantage over anyone else, on the waiting list or not.

Not sure I am making my point too well, sorry, roz
