Essential Insights That Empower Your Investment
Purchasing a strata-titled property automatically makes you part of the owners' corporation, sharing responsibility for quarterly levies, building maintenance, compliance, insurance, and by-laws enforcement. Without a comprehensive strata report, you’re essentially buying blind.
While a typical inspection focuses on the condition of your individual unit, a strata report (also called a pre-purchase strata inspection report) evaluates the entire scheme, its management, finances, legal obligations, and compliance for a complete picture of what you or your client is committing to.
Uncover Hidden Issues
Even the most beautiful properties can hide structural and pest-related problems that are not immediately visible. A professional pre-purchase inspection and detailed report by our qualified building inspectors helps reveal any issues that could potentially cost you thousands in repairs down the road.
Financial Stability
A strata report gives you a detailed view of the Owners Corporation’s financial health, including both administrative and capital works funds. See how levy contributions are being used, whether funds are sufficient for ongoing maintenance, and any upcoming special levies that could impact your investment. This insight helps you anticipate potential costs and assess whether the property is financially well-managed.
Building Condition & Maintenance
Beyond the individual unit, a strata report examines the entire building’s condition, including previous repairs, current maintenance plans, and future capital works projects. Get insight into how the Owners Corporation is managing upkeep and whether sufficient planning and funding are in place to prevent costly surprises down the line.
Management & Governance
Our reports provide insight into how the scheme is run, including details about committee members, strata managers, meeting minutes, and by-laws. You’ll know how decisions are made, how rules are enforced, and whether the management is transparent and effective.
Legal & Community Issues
Strata living can involve disputes or legal matters that affect all owners. Our reports identify current or past legal disputes, ongoing community issues, and by-law breaches, offering a clear understanding of potential challenges and the dynamics within the owners' corporation. This helps you anticipate risks before committing to the property.
Compliance
Strata schemes must meet strict legal obligations, and our reports verify that these are being adhered to. This includes fire safety regulations, Work Health and Safety (WHS) requirements, and asbestos management. Knowing the compliance status ensures the property meets safety standards and reduces the risk of costly rectifications or legal problems.
Informed Investment
A comprehensive strata report allows you to see both current and future liabilities, giving you a realistic picture of the property’s financial and administrative responsibilities. By understanding these factors, you can make a well-informed investment decision, avoid unexpected costs, and confidently move forward knowing exactly what you’re committing to.

Why You Need a Strata Report in Sydney
Purchasing a strata-titled property in Sydney means you automatically become part of an owners corporation, sharing responsibility for the management, maintenance, and financial obligations of the building or complex.
A strata report helps you identify risks, understand upcoming costs, and assess the scheme’s overall health before committing to a purchase.
Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or solicitor, this report ensures you make informed decisions, avoid unexpected liabilities, and gain a clear understanding of the property’s long-term management and financial stability.
How long does it take to get a strata report in Sydney?
Standard turnaround is typically 48–72 hours from when we receive your order and property details. For urgent purchases, we offer a 24-hour expedited service.
The exact timeframe can vary depending on how quickly the strata manager provides access to the owners' corporation records, which we review to ensure the report is comprehensive and accurate.
What’s the difference between a strata report and a building inspection?
- A building inspection focuses on the physical condition of your unit, including structural integrity, roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, and potential defects.
- In contrast, a strata report looks at the entire owners' corporation, including financial statements, bylaws, insurance, compliance, and governance.
Can a strata report reveal upcoming special levies?
Yes. Our strata reports provide detailed insights into current and proposed special levies, as well as a review of the sinking fund forecast.
This analysis helps identify potential future capital works or repairs that could require additional contributions from owners, allowing you to understand financial risks before purchasing.
