Strata Reports

What is a Strata Report?

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.

Why do you need a Pre-Purchase Strata Report Inspection?

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.

I had a great experience using Jims Building Inspections, the communication with Fiona was great, she's so kind, it was pretty easy to book in, etc. Furthermore, as soon as the inspection was done Phil gave us a call to inform us, and the report was provided first thing the next day. I definitely use their service again.

Justin is really helpful, and knowledgeable. Very willing to share information and advice. He was a great help in a couple of tricky building situations I've had recently. Thanks Justin!

Josh

Fantastic service and was willing to give advice on ad hoc issues identified during my inspections (even where he was not paid to inspect the property). When buying a property, it is key to have a good team of people around to help with evaluating these massive financial commitments in a short period of time – with Greg in our corner, we felt well supported with understanding the building/pest risks associated with properties we were bidding on. Appreciate your work, Greg.

Andrew was extremely professional and precise. He inspected every part of my property and even went above and ensured that certain things were operational that were outside his inspection scope.

Andrew also gave me a courtesy call before sending through the report to verbally give me a run down of all the issues he found, or lack thereof!

If you're in the market looking for a building & pest inspector then look no further than Andrew.

Bruce Sherman

Jonathan recently carried out a structural inspection on a property we were considering purchasing, and the experience was nothing short of excellent. From the outset, he demonstrated a high level of professionalism, paired with a genuinely approachable and supportive manner.

His depth of knowledge was evident throughout the inspection, as he carefully walked us through each aspect of the property, clearly explaining both strengths and potential concerns in a way that was easy to understand. He took the time to answer all of our questions—no matter how small—and ensured we felt fully informed at every stage.

What stood out most was his ability to instill confidence during what can often be a stressful decision-making process. Thanks to his thoroughness, transparency, and willingness to go the extra mile, we felt comfortable and reassured in moving forward with our purchase.

We’re truly grateful for Jonathan’s support and would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a reliable and knowledgeable professional.
