A Strata Title Report highlights all existing defects and key issues within an apartment or unit block, providing essential information to guide and prioritise an effective maintenance plan.
This report provides a comprehensive, visual assessment of a complex’s common property to identify safety hazards, maintenance needs, and structural flaws. It includes photographic evidence, structural defect identification, waterproofing failures, fire safety, and recommendations to rectify issues. It highlights potential liability, such as necessary repairs, that may require special levies.
Key Components of a Building Condition & Defects Report:
• Visual Inspection Results: Assessment of common areas (foyer, stairwells, roof, external walls, car park, gardens) to identify defects.
• Structural and Non-Structural Defects: Identification of issues like cracking, wall movement, concrete spalling, or poor building performance.
• Waterproofing and Drainage: Inspection for failed waterproofing in wet areas, balconies, and roof leaks.
• Photographic Evidence: Documentation of noted defects.
• Prioritized Recommendations: A list of remedial actions ranked by urgency to assist with maintenance planning and cost budgeting.
• Maintenance & Improvement History: Records of past repairs, ongoing defects, and planned future works.
These reports are crucial for buyers to avoid unexpected costs and for Owners Corporations to manage long-term liability
