Know what a strata report can reveal about a property
When you are buying into a strata scheme, you are not just buying the apartment itself. You are also buying into the shared building, its records, its maintenance history, and its ongoing costs. A strata report gives you a clearer picture of those details so you can make a more informed decision. We make it simple to order strata reports online, with secure payment, progress tracking, and report delivery in one place.

Check the property type
A strata report is usually relevant for apartments, units, townhouses, and other properties within a strata scheme.
Review the records
The report draws on owners corporation records to identify financial, administrative, and building-related matters.
Make an informed decision
Buyers use the report to assess risk, compare properties, and make decisions with greater confidence.
A strata report is a document prepared as part of property due diligence for a strata-titled property. It reviews records held by the owners corporation or strata manager and highlights key information that may affect your purchase decision. This can include levies, meeting minutes, insurance, maintenance history, disputes, defects, by-laws, and planned major works.
For many buyers, it is one of the most useful property reports to review before exchange. It can reveal issues that are not obvious during an inspection, such as rising levies, special levies, unresolved water ingress, combustible cladding concerns, or repeated complaints within the building. If you are new to the process, our guide on how to order a strata report online explains the steps clearly. If you have questions about a specific property or your order, you can also contact us for help.

Levies and budgets Understand regular contributions, overdue amounts, and signs of financial pressure.

The exact content can vary depending on the building and available records, but most strata reports are designed to help buyers understand the condition and management of the scheme. A well-prepared report can point to both practical concerns and financial risks that may affect ownership costs after settlement.
Common areas reviewed include administrative records, financial statements, meeting minutes, correspondence, by-laws, insurance details, maintenance history, and evidence of major works.

Buying a strata property means sharing responsibility for parts of the building and the wider scheme. That is why a strata report matters. It can help you avoid surprises after settlement and give you a better sense of whether the property is well managed.
A contract and a visual inspection only tell part of the story. A strata report can show whether there are unresolved leaks, poor record keeping, frequent complaints, or major spending ahead. For buyers comparing several apartments, this can be a practical way to reduce uncertainty and improve property due diligence. If you are ready to move forward, our page on how to order a strata report online for your apartment purchase outlines the process, and you can contact us if you would like support.
It is especially useful when you want to understand the broader health of the building, not just the condition of one lot.

Different reports answer different questions. A strata report focuses on the building records and owners corporation, while a pest and building report focuses on physical condition. Many buyers use more than one report for stronger due diligence.
