Strata Reports

A strata report is a crucial document for anyone purchasing a strata-titled property (such as apartments, townhouses, or units) in New South Wales (NSW). It provides detailed insights into the property’s strata scheme, including its financial health, legal matters, and maintenance history.

Obtaining a pre-purchase strata report ensures you’re fully aware of any potential issues, special levies, or disputes before making a decision. This comprehensive report can save you from unexpected financial or legal complications down the line.

When purchasing a strata-titled property, you’re not only buying your unit or apartment but also entering into a shared ownership of common areas such as gardens, parking spaces, and stairwells. Without a strata report before buying, you might inherit issues such as unresolved disputes, maintenance backlogs, or financial challenges tied to the strata scheme.

A pre-purchase strata report helps you:

  • Identify potential financial risks, such as special levies or upcoming repairs.
  • Discover if the strata scheme has the funds to cover future issues or if special levies may apply.
  • Uncover maintenance issues or past disputes that could lead to future headaches.
  • Understand the insurance status of the building and any risks associated with it.

Our strata inspection reports are designed to give you clear and actionable insights into the condition of both the property and the strata scheme. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Financial Overview: We review the strata scheme’s budget, reserves, and any special levies that might apply.

  • Legal Matters: Identification of any ongoing or past disputes, litigation, or claims within the strata scheme.
  • Insurance Status: Ensuring the property is covered for potential risks and repairs.
  • Building Condition: We assess the condition of common property areas like the exterior, parking spaces, and shared amenities, highlighting any potential issues.

The strata inspection report provides you with a comprehensive overview, so you can move forward with confidence in your property investment.

  • Financial Transparency: Understand the strata scheme’s financial standing and avoid unexpected levies or maintenance costs.
  • Legal Protection: A pre-purchase strata report helps uncover any legal disputes within the strata scheme, reducing the risk of inheriting unresolved issues.
  • Peace of Mind: Know that your property is adequately insured and that the building is well-maintained, giving you peace of mind in your investment.

I had a building in southern Tasmania inspected by Peter Berry of Jim's two years ago. His report was very thorough and, having now owned the property for two years, I can attest to the report's accuracy and highly recommend Peter as an inspector.

George from Jim’s Building Inspections is excellent. I'm not a client, I’m a seller and George recently carried out an inspection of my property. I was so impressed with his work that I had to ask for his details and I wanted to take the time to write this review. George was extremely diligent and thorough, carefully checking everything both inside and outside the property. His attention to detail was impressive, and he took the time to properly inspect the property rather than simply going through the motions. He was also professional, respectful and easy to deal with throughout the inspection. I have complete confidence in the quality of his work and would definitely use George in the future. Highly recommended!

Absolutely top-notch service 10/10. I highly recommend Ash’s service. He is incredibly communicative, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. As someone who doesn’t know much about the building side of things, I really appreciated how clearly and professionally the report was prepared. It made it so easy for me to understand what needed to be addressed urgently and what to keep an eye on. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that Ash offers handyman services as well. I’ll definitely be using his services again in the coming days. Absolutely top-notch service from start to finish. Highly recommend!

We could not have asked for a better service from Nick. The report was extremely thorough (47 pages long) and had information on every aspect of the house. We were impressed that he tested all the cupboards, taps, and drains in the house. Upon receiving the report, we called Nick for advice and he further explained the details. We will definitely be using Nick for future building and pest reports.
