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.

  • 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.

  • 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 was very impressed with how thorough Jason was with our building inspection. The detail he went into in his report and discussions with us made everything very clear. I will be recommending Jason to friends and family who may need a building and pest inspection in the future
Brendan was very easy to deal with, efficient and professional throughout the process. The inspection report was thorough, clearly explained and easy to understand, giving us confidence in moving forward with our property decision. I appreciated the honest advice and attention to detail. Highly recommend Brendan and Jim's Building Inspections.
I’ve used Jam’s Building Inspection Parramatta for several jobs and have always been impressed with their service. Terry is very professional, friendly and reliable, with fair and reasonable pricing. I’ve also recommended him to several of my clients, and they’ve all been very happy with the service and results. Highly recommended!
Dudley was extremely thorough with my building inspection and went above and beyond to make sure I had all the necessary information for any current defects and flagged anything that might be a potential issue in the future. He was friendly, efficient and extremely professional as well and being warm and informative. This is my first home purchase, and he really put me at ease. Thank you!

I would definitely recommend Ankit! He was thorough in his inspections and was able to link us with contractors who could advise us about his concerns. He was available for feedback whenever we needed it. If it were not for his inspection, we would have bought a home with significant issues.

We are in the process of buying our first home and worked with Jason. He did a very thorough inspection and report with lots of photos. The report showed multiple issues and as first home buyers we weren’t sure how serious these were. We were able to speak with Jason and he gave really great easy to understand explanations of what was going on, his course of action and priorities and even talked about cheaper more simple things we could do to protect elements of the home while saving up for full renovations. Jason was very patient and caring and said this is the advice I’d give if you were my kids. We will definitely work with Jason in future and take him up on his offer to reach out for advice on renovations and tradie recommendations. Thanks again Jason!

I was very impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail that Phil demonstrated during his Building and Pest inspection and presentation of the Report. The engagement and inspection process was faultless. I would recommend engaging Phil and Fiona when you need an inspection performed.
Rob was great to deal, walked me through all the issues minor or major and gave great advise on how to move forward through settlement and what is worth looking into once moved in. Definitely recommend as I will be giving him a call for any future building and pest reports.

Exceptional and thorough pre-purchase inspection I engaged Frank to inspect a house I was considering buying, and I couldn't be happier with the service. He was exceptionally detailed and thorough, covering everything from the roof to the foundations and moisture levels, and nothing was rushed. The report was clear, well organised, and full of photos, so I could easily see what needed attention and how urgent each issue was. He also took the time to provide further clarifications to all my questions and carried out a follow-up inspection. Thanks to his work, I gained a realistic picture of the property's condition. Highly professional, and outstanding service. I'd recommend him to anyone looking to inspect the property first before committing to purchase.

I had a wonderful experience with Jim’s Building Inspections during my property purchase. Ankit was professional, friendly, and highly responsive throughout the entire process. He was thorough in his inspection and took the time to ensure everything was handled smoothly. His excellent communication and attention to detail made the whole experience stress-free. I highly recommend Ankit and Jim’s Building Inspections to anyone looking for a reliable and professional building inspection service!
We had an independent building inspection completed by Ankit recently. He was not only able to do the inspection within 2 days of my initial request, but also provided information regarding the outcome via phone call immediately after, and the formal report by the end of that same day. He was incredibly thorough and professional, and highly communicative and responsive with us throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend Ankit to anyone seeking a building inspection.

I recently engaged Phil and Fiona to do a pre purchase building and pest inspection. The whole process was well managed, and we / they had to be flexible with time frames which wasn't an issue at all. I was provided with the very comprehensive report the day after the inspection which was great. Would definitely recommend Jim's Building Inspections Montville.
