Reasons to Hire a Strata Manager

Home -> Blog -> Reasons to Hire a Strata Manager

Managing a strata property involves complex responsibilities that can quickly become overwhelming for lot owners. While self-management might seem cost-effective initially, professional strata management offers significant advantages that protect your investment and enhance your ownership experience.

Expert Navigation of Complex Regulations

WA strata legislation undergoes regular updates and changes that can be difficult to track. Professional strata managers stay current with all regulatory requirements.

  • We maintain comprehensive knowledge of the Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA) and its amendments
  • Our team ensures your strata scheme remains compliant with all legal obligations
  • We handle mandatory reporting and documentation requirements, preventing potential penalties

Without expert guidance, strata councils risk making decisions that could violate regulations, potentially resulting in costly legal issues.

Efficient Financial Management

Proper financial administration is crucial for maintaining a healthy strata community.

  • We establish transparent budgets and manage levy collections efficiently
  • Our team handles trust accounting with meticulous attention to detail
  • We arrange competitive insurance coverage tailored to your property’s specific needs
  • We provide regular financial reporting that keeps all lot owners informed

Professional financial management ensures your strata scheme maintains adequate reserves for both planned maintenance and unexpected repairs.

Impartial Dispute Resolution

Conflicts between lot owners can create uncomfortable living situations and potentially decrease property values.

We act as neutral third parties when disagreements arise, applying fair and consistent enforcement of the bylaws. Our experience in mediation helps resolve issues before they escalate to formal tribunal proceedings.

This impartiality is particularly valuable in Perth’s close-knit strata communities, where maintaining positive neighbour relationships contributes significantly to quality of life.

Coordinated Maintenance and Repairs

Maintaining common property requires coordination and technical knowledge.

  • We develop preventative maintenance schedules that protect your investment
  • Our established network of reliable, licensed contractors ensures quality work
  • We manage the entire process from obtaining quotes to overseeing completion
  • We maintain detailed records of all work performed for future reference

This systematic approach to maintenance prevents small issues from becoming major problems, particularly important in older properties throughout suburbs like Fremantle and Subiaco.

Time and Stress Reduction for Owners

Perhaps the most significant benefit is the freedom professional management provides.

You purchased your property to enjoy it, not to spend evenings reviewing legislation or weekends coordinating repairs. Our team handles these responsibilities, allowing you to focus on what matters most to you.

For investors, this means passive income without administrative headaches. For owner-occupiers, it means more time enjoying your home and community.

While these benefits apply to any professional strata management, choosing a boutique Perth-based firm like Perth Strata Co. offers additional advantages. Our deep understanding of local property conditions ensures your property receives management tailored to its specific needs.
