Can Quillio support strata inspector work?
Yes. I review strata inspection reports (commissioned by intending purchasers) and produce a risk-ranked memo for the purchaser. I flag building defects, special levies, low sinking fund balances, outstanding litigation, governance issues, and compliance orders. The memo translates a dense technical report into plain-language purchaser advice.
Financial position
I assess the sinking fund balance against the scheme's age and size, the levy history (including any special levies in the past 3 years), arrears, and forecast expenditure. A thin sinking fund plus aging building is a major red flag for future special levies.
Defects and compliance
I flag current works orders, fire safety issues, cladding concerns (particularly relevant post-Grenfell and the NSW cladding program), waterproofing claims, and any litigation involving the scheme. Each gets a practical "what this means for a purchaser" note.
Governance
I review recent AGM and committee minutes for governance red flags — disputes, turnover of strata managers, contentious by-law proposals, and proxy battles. Governance problems often predict future levy issues.
Common issues
- Reports are often dense and dated — supplement with recent meeting minutes where possible
- Developer-controlled schemes in new buildings have specific risks — flag the transition
- Schemes with active cladding or defect remediation need specialist advice
