Why you need a strata report when purchasing a unit.

When purchasing a unit it is essential that you obtain a Strata Inspection Report.

A Strata Report does not replace a building report but complements it. The strata report generally will tell you what the costs are for the whole complex (which all single unit owners contribute to) and a building report will advise you on the condition of your specific unit.

A quality strata report will provide the following details but  not limited to:

• The current owners in the complex.
• The levies are for the property, when they are paid to and if there are special levies for major works.
• What your particular unit entitlements are.
• The balance of the Sinking and the Administrative Fund and if they are in surplus or deficit.
• If there is a Sinking Fund Forecast Report.
• If there are there any existing or current legal matters or disputes.
• If the scheme complies with fire regulations.
• Are pets allowed.
• Are there any building issues, existing or forecast.
• The By-Laws.
• What, if any major expenditure is planned or if in the last 3 years there has been any.
• The current value of the complete building.
• Building insurance details.
• Records of all meeting minutes.
• Copies of building reports and repairs etc.

Our price for a comprehensive strata report is $385 including GST.
