Strata conveyancing Sydney with special levy, by-law and defect diligence
Sydney strata conveyancing typically settles in 4–8 weeks, with the strata report, special levies, and sinking fund balance the three highest-risk items to review before exchange.
Strata buying in Sydney is as much about the building as the apartment — special levies, sinking fund balance, by-law disputes, and building defect history can all change the value of the property after settlement. We deliver Sydney strata-focused conveyancing with detailed strata-report triage built into every contract review.
What this service delivers
- Strata report triage (special levies, sinking fund, disputes)
- Building defect history and pending major works review
- By-law analysis (pets, short-stay, renovation restrictions)
Frequently asked questions
- What's the most important item in a strata report?
- Special levies (current and proposed), sinking fund balance, and building defect history are the three highest-risk items — we triage these first.
- What are by-laws and why do they matter?
- By-laws govern building behaviour (pets, short-stay, renovation, parking); they directly affect how you'll use the apartment and may restrict resale appeal.
- Do you handle Strata Management Act disputes?
- Yes — pre-purchase we flag any pending NCAT matters; post-purchase we refer to specialist strata law where contentious.
- How quickly can you turnaround a strata review?
- 48 hours is standard; complex reports with disputes or major works may take longer.
