Strata Inspections

Please note that a minimum 24 hours' notice is required for all strata inspections. This applies to all strata search companies, private individuals and lot owners wishing to view an Owners Corporations file.

Private individuals will only be afforded access to a strata schemes file after lodging a letter of authority to search. This must be signed by the owner(s) of the lot for which you are undertaking the search.

Before a lot owner undertakes a strata inspection, they should first log on to the web portal (Home page). The information being sought may well be available there, thus saving the cost of the statutory charges for undertaking a strata inspection.

Inspections need to be booked no later than 10 am if you are requiring to conduct your search the following day. We will endeavour to accommodate your date and time request subject to availability.

The booking is an appointment for a specified time.

Most owners corporation files are now maintained electronically. This enables an electronic search. Those conducting a search will be provided access the records via a computer. Searchers must be computer literate and bring a USB with them. Our office does not provide any instruction on how to undertake a search.

No information will be provided verbally.

A strata inspection of records may now be conducted remotely. The prescribed fee must be receipted before access is provided.

Costs

$31 for the first hour and an additional $16 for each half-hour or part of half-hour after the first hour inspection.

The Australian Tax Office requires that GST be added to those amounts.
