why you need a strata report
CLIENT: OZCOPY/SECTION 108
The thought of buying an apartment or a town house can be an exciting, but daunting, prospect. Your potential new home may be in a strata scheme; a complex or apartment building. That’s why a strata report is an essential acquisition before signing on the dotted line. But you don’t want just any strata report, you want one that answers all your questions, is deeply investigative in nature and allows you to make properly informed decisions about your future home. You need a Smart Strata Report. And for property in the Greater Sydney metropolitan area and regional areas, that’s just what we at Section 108 can give you.
There is so much to consider when buying a home in a strata scheme and our Smart Strata Reports can help take some pressure off you and make the buying experience a pleasanter one.
Consider this:
Close to a quarter of New South Wales lives in a strata scheme. With over five new strata schemes being registered each day in the state, you need to make sure you’re investing in the right one.
Although you’ll be living in your own unit – also known as apartments, town houses or more commonly, lots – you won’t be alone. There will be neighbours to either side of you, and in the case of an apartment building; there will probably be neighbours above and below you. And you need to know if you can live with them before you buy. What constitutes common ground in the complex and what is your own air-space?
Among the numerous things you need to be informed about are the by-laws or rules that are in place in the strata scheme. Will they suit your lifestyle? Are you prepared to adjust to them? You don’t want to buy an apartment, only to find out as you’re unpacking the moving van that you can’t keep a Great Dane, and you have two of them. And a parrot. What extra costs will you be liable for after you’ve bought your new home? What are the levies in that building? Is the building in need of drastic repair or expensive up-keep? Marble tiled floors in the foyer are great, but costly to maintain.
A Smart Strata Report covers all of these, as well as, among others, whether any legal or illegal alterations have been made in the past to your unit, the existence of proper building insurance and is there any building or maintenance planned that will affect the levies?
