Buying a strata property like a villa or unit? Own a development or about to invest? With any strata building it’s important to have a building inspector perform a regular strata maintenance check-up. It’s especially important in Perth, as all WA strata developments will soon be required to undertake a maintenance inspection every five years.
New Properties
Once a strata development turns five years old, ABBC recommends scheduling an overall strata maintenance inspection. Perth customers can use an ABBC strata maintenance plan to determine if the initial building workmanship and materials were adequate and if there’s anything that now needing Owner’s maintenance. The same report will highlight operational issues, as well as provide the strata owners with a plan for ongoing maintenance.
Did You Know…?
If a building inspector finds faulty workmanship issues which have not been addressed by your builder, you can file a complaint through the Building Commission up to six years from the building’s Practical Completion? The team at ABBC are well versed in building disputes and resolutions, and can assist with practical advice. But don’t leave it until the last minute – to get the best result you should really have regular inspections starting five years after Practical Completion.
