What is a Strata Title Inspection Report

A Strata Report is History in a Hurry.

Owners Corporations are required to keep Accounts, Minutes of Meetings, Correspondence and other records to properly manage the building.

An OPR Strata Records Report will provide information on Cash Funds, Levies, Insurance, Litigation, Building Alterations and Maintenance, By-laws, Fire Orders and sometimes Social Problems.

Why Purchase a strata title inspection report

As you are effectively buying a share in the whole building. You should include, as a basic part of your pre-purchase research, an inspection of Owners Corporation records.

There has been a dramatic increase in the number of strata title properties built in the last few years. Since the privatisation of certification even basic building standards have been inadequately documented. Many older apartment buildings built in the 1960's and 1970's are undergoing major upgrades - or should be.

OPR strata inspectors are trained to identify and report on problems which should have an affect on the purchase price and purchase decision.

We do a wide variety of strata inspections every day and every member of our team has learned to read and interpret Owners Corporation information so you get an independent view of the property you want to buy.

Whether you are buying, selling, engaged in litigation or seeking finance for a residential or commercial property? OPR’s strata inspectors are trained to complete your strata inspection efficiently and reliably.

Horror Stories - Things The Agent Didn't Mention

Different types of strata Reports

We talk generally about Strata Reports but we are really talking about a number of different records inspections.

We regularly inspect the records of Company Title Buildings, Community Associations, Neighbourhood Associations and Building Management Committees.

These are all different ways of sharing the ownership of land and buildings and they have their own special characteristics. At OPR we deal with these differences all the time and we are familiar with all of them.
