Selling your Strata Unit

Selling a property that is part of a Strata Scheme is one of our specialties and strengths as collectively our Agents have decades of effectively managing Strata and Community schemes.

Our Principal Craig Ferguson holds membership with the Strata Communities Association and the Urban Taskforce NSW, Craig was admitted into this organization as a fellow in 2004.

Our associated company Metro Asset Management provides specialist property consultancy and management services and advice to many of the most innovative and successful property development organizations in Sydney and NSW.

Metro Asset Management manages 2500 strata lots in Sydney Northern beaches, CBD, Sydney's Southern suburbs, Newcastle and Greater Sydney.

Our experience, professionalism and practical and technical knowledge of The Strata industry and current legislation is what allows us to bring to you a specialist perspective when selling your Strata unit or lot.

Each Strata scheme has its own by -laws, which are a set of rules that owners, tenants and, in some cases, visitors must follow. By-laws cover the behaviour of residents and the use of common property.

They can cover issues such as whether pets are allowed on the scheme, how smoking is regulated, parking and noise levels.

The by-laws can vary significantly from scheme to scheme and it is important to understand which by -laws apply to your scheme.

Owners corporations can determine the by-laws that suit the preferred lifestyle of the strata scheme.

A copy of the scheme's by laws is kept with the records of the Owners Corporation and is available from either the Secretary of The Owners Corporation or from the Managing agent.
