STRATA DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS

At Empire Estate Agents we acknowledge the diversity and complexities involved in strata title development and as such, have broken it down to assist you in understanding the general steps involved when setting up a strata title development:
Step 1: Appoint a Strata Managing Agent
Decide which strata managing agency you will appoint as your agent during the set-up stage and during the initial period.
Step 2: Setting up the Strata Scheme
-
We will prepare the notifiable information to be given to prospective buyers
-
We will liaise with you on preparing budgets, assist with by-law preparation, obtain insurance quotations and obtain any other service quotation required during the set-up stage.
-
We will obtain quotes for additional services such as lifts, air conditioning maintenance, landscaping and other services required for the complex
-
We will issue and prepare at the prescribed fee Section 110 Certificates
Step 3: Developer Meeting
Upon registration of the strata plan at Landgate a meeting will be arranged with you. At the meeting we will need to discuss insurances, budgets, common seal and to determine if strata levies should be struck or not during the initial period.
Step 4: First Annual General Meeting
Within 3 months after the registration of the
strata plan the First Annual General Meeting is required to be called. We will prepare the Agenda and all associated documents, and Chair this First Annual General Meeting. At this meeting the strata council is elected, levies raised if needed, insurance decisions resolved and other matters associated with the scheme agreed.
Step 5: Strata Management
Once the First Annual General Meeting is held
and motions are resolved accordingly in particular ‘appointment of strata managing agent’, the Owners Corporation can now move forward to carrying out its day to day duties under the Strata Titles Act 1985.
