Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much does strata management cost?

Fees are tailored to the size and complexity of your property. A residential block will need different support to a mixed-use or commercial development. Fee structures also vary. Some properties opt for an all-inclusive fixed fee, while others choose a lower base fee with additional charges applied only when extra services are required.

Strata management services typically include managing administration, facilitating meetings, overseeing insurance, coordinating common property repairs and maintenance, financial management, including setting budgets, levy administration and record keeping.  Managers also progress the management of complaints, guide legislative compliance and offer advice to help the owners corporations meet the broader needs of their building and community. The exact scope can be tailored to what your owners corporation needs and is reflected in the management agreement.   

A strata manager helps an owners corporation handle the day-to-day administration of the common property. This includes everything from meetings, records, budgets, compliance, insurance and maintenance coordination. They also provide support and advice so the owners corporation can run more smoothly. 

Changing strata managers usually involves reviewing your current agreement, passing a resolution at a meeting and giving the required notice to the current manager. This is then followed by a transition process that transfers records, financial information and key documents to the new manager.  We can help you with this transition to ensure minimal disruption for your owners corporation.
