About:
Buying into a Community Scheme? Make Sure You Know What You’re Signing Up For.Hi, I’m Angelique Steyl, and I’ve worked in the property management industry for several years. Over time, I’ve seen how many people buy into sectional title properties or homeowners’ associations (HOAs) without truly understanding what they’re committing to.Yes, the complex looks secure, the gardens are beautiful, and everything feels perfect… but behind the scenes, there may be financial problems, legal disputes, or rules that don’t fit your lifestyle.That’s why I started Strata Community Living to help buyers like you make informed, confident decisions before buying into shared communities.
Services:
Working in property management, I’ve seen firsthand how many buyers are unaware of what they’re truly buying into when purchasing a sectional title property or a home in a homeowners’ association (HOA).While location and aesthetics are important, so are the hidden aspects of a scheme. Buyers need clear information on:• Financial Health:
Is the scheme well-funded or drowning in debt? Are special levies looming?• Rules & Restrictions:
Can you have pets? Rent out your unit? Paint your front door red?• Maintenance & Special Levies:
Are big repairs planned? Who’s paying?• Legal & Governance Issues:
Who’s really in charge? Are there disputes or poor management?These factors can drastically affect your quality of life and long-term financial stability.What Strata Community Living Does:At Strata Community Living, we offer an independent due diligence service tailored for buyers. Our goal is to help people make informed decisions before buying into a sectional title scheme or HOA.We Provide:- Easy-to-understand reports on the scheme’s financial health and governance.
