What should you know before buying an apartment or unit in Victoria?
Buying an apartment or unit in Victoria means buying a lot in an owners corporation, so you are buying into a building and its shared decisions. Look at the lot, the common property you can reach and the owners corporation papers, read the contract with your conveyancer, and arrange an independent strata report before you commit.

What a strata report covers for an apartment buyer in Melbourne
A strata report looks at the lot you are buying and the common property you can reach on the day, with photos and a list of what could not be inspected, and it helps you read the owners corporation papers for building-related points. It is not legal or financial advice, and it does not assess the owners corporation's finances.
