What is included in a strata report?

A strata report reviews the records of the owners corporation or body corporate to help you understand the financial and legal position of the scheme. It commonly covers administrative and sinking fund balances, meeting minutes, insurance details, by-laws, planned major works, levies, disputes, and any known building defects.This information can reveal risks that are not obvious during an open inspection, especially when buying an apartment, unit, or townhouse.

Why should I order a pest and building report before buying?

A pest and building report helps identify structural issues, moisture problems, safety concerns, and signs of termite or pest activity before you commit to a purchase. These issues can affect the value of the property and lead to repair costs after settlement.Having a detailed report puts you in a stronger position to negotiate on price, request repairs, or decide whether to proceed at all. It is a practical step for houses, townhouses, and many older residential properties.

How quickly will I receive my property report?

Most reports are delivered within 72 hours, depending on property access, the type of report ordered, and the location of the property. In some cases, reports may be completed sooner, while more complex matters can take longer if extra records need to be reviewed.You will be kept informed throughout the process so you know what stage your order is at and when to expect delivery.

Are the inspectors certified and insured?

Yes, reports are carried out by qualified inspectors within a certified and insured network across Australia. This helps ensure the findings are prepared professionally and with care, using a consistent standard of reporting.If you want more information about how your data is handled when placing an order, you can read our Privacy Policy.

Can I order both a strata report and a pest and building report?

Yes, many buyers order both. A strata report focuses on the records, finances, rules, and management of a strata scheme, while a pest and building report looks at the physical condition of the property itself.Together, they provide a fuller picture of the risks, likely future costs, and any issues that may influence your decision. This is especially useful when buying an apartment in a larger complex.

Which properties usually need a strata report?

A strata report is usually recommended for apartments, units, townhouses, and other properties that form part of a strata or community title scheme. These properties share common areas and are managed under a set of records, by-laws, levies, and insurance arrangements.If you are unsure whether a property falls into this category, visit the Home page to explore available services or contact us for support.
