FAQs

1. Is it mandatory to enlist the services of a strata manager, or can my property in Dover Heights operate smoothly without establishing a formal strata management framework?

Whilst houses do not need to meet strata legislation requirements, two lot schemes, such as detached townhouses, may see assuring benefits to having a formal strata management structure. For two lot schemes that get along, we can provide accounts-only services. However, for very small schemes or multi-unit properties, a hands-on strata manager is much more effective, and can be invaluable in minimising issues and disputes.

Strata schemes with significant common areas that include shared facilities, like lifts, gardens, pools, pumps, etc. are best served where there is a management structure via a qualified strata manager. This ensures that these are well looked after for the long term.

  • Financial Management: Examine their approach to financial matters, including budgeting, levies, and handling of maintenance funds. A good strata company should provide clear and regular financial reports.

 

  • References & Reviews: Check references and online reviews. Speaking to current clients can provide valuable insights into the company’s performance and reliability.

 

  • Fees & Contracts: Understand their fee structure, and read the contract carefully. It should be clear, fair, and without hidden costs.

 

  • Conflict Resolution: Consider their approach to handling disputes and conflicts within the strata community. Effective conflict resolution is essential for maintaining a harmonious living environment.
