Expert Strata Inspections Across NSW & ACT
A strata inspection report provides prospective property buyers, investors, and owners in Sydney and NSW with a detailed evaluation of a strata titled lot’s physical condition, financial standing, and overall building health.
Did you know there are around 110,000 strata schemes in New South Wales? Did you also know that, by 2040, around 50% of Greater Sydney residents will live in buildings with strata schemes?
When looking to buy or invest in an apartment, townhouse, or commercial lot, obtaining a comprehensive strata report is critical. This process combines a physical, visual inspection of the individual lot area, with a Strata Records Report analyzing the Owners Corporation’s financial records, maintenance history, and meeting minutes.
Together, these reports give buyers and investors a complete, transparent picture of the property. They highlight potential liabilities such as upcoming special levies, structural defects, water ingress, deferred maintenance, or active legal disputes, ensuring you make a safe, confident, and informed investment decision.

A Strata Records Report is a retrospective review of your Owners’ Corporation records. It details the previous financial and management history of a property under Strata Title. The goal of a Strata Records Report is to give the buyer full insight into the financial status and physical condition of the overall building.
Key things to look out for in a strata report include:
Whether you are buying, investing in, or managing a residential or commercial strata lot in NSW, a strata report is essential before exchanging contracts. Combining physical lot inspections with records reviews gives you a complete 360-degree view of potential risks, helping you avoid hidden costs and protect your investment.
Performed to AS 4349 standards, our physical inspections assess the lot interior, parking, storage, and outdoor areas to flag visual defects, habitability issues, and urgent maintenance.
We review Owners Corporation files to highlight capital works funds, planned special levies, and major building repairs that impact future costs or insurability.

While a strata building report is not legally mandatory, it is strongly recommended when buying a strata property. It can help identify building defects, maintenance issues, upcoming works and other potential costs before you commit to the purchase.
Strata building reports typically take 5-10 working days to complete following the inspection. The timeframe can vary depending on the property, access and complexity of the inspection. Expedited inspections may be available in selected circumstances.
A strata building report may provide useful information for legal or tribunal matters, but its suitability as evidence will depend on the circumstances and applicable requirements. If the report is intended for legal proceedings, it is recommended that you discuss its use with your legal adviser.
Our experienced building inspectors deliver independent Strata Reports that clarify property conditions and assess maintenance needs. With clear breakdowns and recommendations, we help strata owners and buyers make informed decisions efficiently, protecting your investment interests before issues escalate.
