IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TURN-AROUND TIME FOR DOCUMENTS –

We are receiving too many Orders with either incorrect and / or incomplete information.  The accuracy of the information on the Request for Documentation is imperative as this information is automatically transposed to the output documents. 

If the errors are not picked up by our team and corrected, the Disclosure documents will be incorrect.

To overcome the issues we are experiencing, we will require that a recent Levy Notice be uploaded in the place provided on the Order form.  The Levy Notice has all the information required to complete the Order and the order can be processed immediately saving anywhere between 12 – 24 hours on the turnaround time.

For an order received with a recent levy notice attached, it is our aim to have the documents returned within 1 – 3 business days. 

If no levy notice is attached, all information provided is checked with the BC Managers are noted as holding the records.  This causes delays anywhere between 24 – 48 hours.  Please allow up to 7 days turnaround time for your documents.

Please do not send this document in a separate email as your order would have already been processed by our team as not having a levy notice attached. 

NB The Levy Notice is issued by the Body Corporate Managers requesting the payment of the levies for the property.    Do not confuse this with the Rates Notice that is issued by the Council. 

 

 

PURCHASER’S COMPREHENSIVE SEARCH

We recommend that anybody that is contemplating purchasing into a Body Corporate Scheme, request that we do a full search of the Body Corporate records and provide a detailed report which will include copies of all Reports, Agreements, correspondence and Minutes of Meetings.

This Report will give a Purchaser a very clear picture of the Scheme that they wish to be part of so that they can feel confident with their purchase. Better to be made aware of any issues before settlement and be given the opportunity to proceed (or not) to settlement.  Our fees for this service is $260.00 for a digital report sent via Dropbox.  Additional fees will apply if a hard copy of the Report is required.

Additional fees could also be incurred if the records are held digitally within a Body Corporate Office.   Some Body Corporate Mangement Offices are now insisting that all documents and minutes  that we require for the Report be printed at a cost of $0.72 per page.    This additional charge to us would be passed onto you in these instances.  We would recommend that you ring us to determine whether the Body Corporate Managers for your specific enquiry operate under this Policy.   When searching within these offices, we make every effort to minimise the printing charges.

ANY OTHER BODY CORPORATE INFORMATION REQUIRED – ? Please feel free to request what you need and we will endeavor to accommodate your request.

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

As Specialists in Body Corporate matters, we attend at the offices of the Body Corporate Management and inspect all records pertinent to the lot and complete a detailed Disclosure Statement as required by the recently amended regulations.

We go that one step further and provide additional information to assist in the preparation of a Contract of Sale i.e Insurance particulars and Pool Safety Certificate (if applicable) and the attitude of the Body Corporate in relation to pets.

Although the regulations changed in that  the CMS is no longer required to be produced to prospective Purchasers, we consider that this is a very important and relevant document as it not only contains the By-laws of the Body Corporate, it also contains information of Car parks, storage areas and Courtyard areas are also allotted to a particular unit by way of an Exclusive Use.  For this reason, we recommend that you order the CMS document to assist your Agent in identifying what, if any exclusive use areas are allocated to your unit.

VENDOR’S IMPLIED WARRANTY STATEMENT

The Vendor’s Implied Warranty Statement together with the Disclosure Statement covers all items contained in Clause 7.4 of the Contract.    These include details of any latent or patent defects in the Common property or Body Corporate Assets, any actual contingent or expected liabilities of the Body Corporate that are not part of the Body Corporate’s normal operating expenses and any circumstances in relation to the affairs of the Body Corporate that is likely to materially prejudice the Buyer.  We also reveal any current or proposed Special Levies, details of any work orders, notices or applications issued by the Local Government or State Authorities; any unregistered lease, easement or other right capable of registration affecting the common property or the Body Corporate Assets.

Be aware that if this information is not completed correctly in the Contract then a Buyer may terminate the Contract.

I have used Strata Assist Qld services many times and have always received what I wanted promptly with the minimum of fuss. As a real estate agent we are time poor, we don’t have time or the patience to be dealing with business’s that are incompetent. Jan is an efficient operator and often goes beyond her call of duty when requested, hence me using her for all of my Body Corporate needs. I find she understands that our business is often not so black and white, she gets it. I would highly recommend Jan; she is not only a lovely person but an asset to my business.
