SERVICES

Feel like your strata building is getting ripped off but don’t have the time to fix it or not sure where to start? You’ve come to the right place, with a strata savings project I’ll show you different ways to save money in your budget and help you implement them!

What’s included:

A comprehensive review of your building’s financials.

A personalised plan of savings options for your building.

Working with your strata committee to consider each option for savings. This includes attendance at committee meetings.

The implementation of each saving option that the committee approves. This includes working with any strata manger, the committee, and your preferred vendors.

Cost

One third of the first year of savings from my recommendations - on a ‘no savings, no fee’ basis. The Owners Corporation retains 100% of the savings for every subsequent year.

Remember - you’re already paying someone else triple the cost of a ‘savings project’ as the cost is calculated off the savings. Not only are you already paying someone else triple, but you’re paying them every year!

Having trouble with your current strata manager? Or want help in tendering for a new strata manager? I can help in any stage of the process, whether it’s reviewing contracts, helping you know what to ask potential strata managers, or providing recommendations for good strata managers based on the lived experience of other strata committees I’ve worked with.

This is a complementary service as part of a ‘savings project’, or charged on an hourly basis ($125/hr) if conducted separately.

Looking for independent advice or need something else related to a strata building?

This is a complementary service as part of a ‘savings project’, or $125/hr if conducted separately.

Please reach out if you aren’t sure if it’s something I can help with!

What’s included:

A one hour discussion covering all things ‘strata’ so you know the good things to look out for, and the bad things to avoid when, looking for that perfect apartment or townhouse.

During our discussion I’ll answer all your questions as well as talk you through what it means to be part of an owners committee, why you’ll be paying corporate levies, what the boundary is between ‘common property’ and ‘your property’, what the difference is between the general fund and sinking/capital fund, some of the legislation that regulates how strata schemes operate, and what to look out for when reviewing a contract that includes years of meeting minutes and financials.

Cost

$150

Have you found somewhere you are interested in buying but would like assistance understanding the years of meeting minutes and complicated financials included in the purchase contract?

I can review the building’s meeting minutes and financials and walk you through all the strata things you need to know before buying that property - especially highlighting any red flags such as defects!

This service includes a full contract review and a 1.5 hour discussion of the strata things you should be aware of before signing the contract. In addition to the topics covered in the Strata 101 session, I’ll walk you through the strata records and provide advice on how financially sound the building is and whether there are indications of defects or conflict hidden in the meeting minutes.

Cost

$350 - with a 30% discount if you’ve already engaged me for a previous ‘Contract Review’ or ‘Buying into Strata 101’ session.

Disclaimer

This service is not a replacement for a qualified conveyancer who can provide you advice on the legality of the purchase contract.
