了解公寓物业问题
DANIEL BUTKOVICHADVICE EDITOR MAR 24, 2021

公寓業主通常通過一小部分當選的業主（稱為业主委員會）來分享擁有建築物和公共財產，制定章程和做出決定的業主團。 批准宠物或装修是最有争议的决定，例如地板材料或动物大小等问题都需要经过审查。

Strata Plus客户关系经理Jane Giacobbe说，在购买之前，购买者应委托专家出具报告(Strata Report)，它 详细描述建筑物的财务状况和历史。

她说：“请专家对strata进行更深入的研究。” “检查他们是否没有赤字，检查他们是否有基本工程计划和基本工程基金，这就像是用于主要资本支出的储蓄基金一样，并检查它们是否确实在为此作出贡献。”

了解公寓的建造质量和strata问题，将有助于选择公寓房屋的人决定这是否是他们的合适住所。
“如果没有，那就是一个危险信号。作为新的购买者，您可能会被一次性一次性大笔征收，以维修一些无法维护的东西。”


What to consider before downsizing to an apartment

Understand strata issues
（partially)
Apartment owners share in the owners’ corporation that owns the building and common property, sets bylaws and makes decisions, often through a small group of elected owners known as the strata committee. 
Approval of pets or renovations tend to be the most contentious decisions, with issues such as flooring materials or the size of animals scrutinised.
Before buying, purchasers should commission a strata report detailing the financial health and history of the building, says strata manager and Strata Plus client relationship manager Jane Giacobbe. 
“Ask the conveyancer to dig deeper into the strata report,” she says. “Check that they’re not in a deficit, check that they have a capital works plan and a capital works fund — that’s like a savings fund for major capital expenses — and check that they’re actually contributing to it.

“If that wasn’t in place, that’s a red flag. As a new purchaser, you might be hit with a one-off large levy to repair something which hasn’t been maintained.”
