Spotting the Signs Early

Is it time for a change?

You don’t have to wait for major breakdowns before exploring new strata management options. Unresolved maintenance requests, persistent communication breakdowns, or a lack of clear financial oversight are key indicators that your scheme may benefit from a new approach.

“We handle the administrative transition for you. Our team liaises directly with your outgoing management firm to retrieve all scheme records, financial history, and official documentation seamlessly.”

Three Simple Steps to Switch Strata Managers

Changing managers is far more straightforward than it appears. A smooth, stress-free transition involves three straightforward steps:

  • Review your existing contract to understand current terms and notice periods.
  • Consult with your strata committee to align on the decision to change.
  • Hold a general meeting to vote and formally approve the update.

Allow us to help you transition easily and without any hassle. We will coordinate directly with your previous management and ensure that all your relevant information and documentation are transferred over.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we know when it may be time to change strata managers?

Warning signs can include unresolved maintenance requests, repeated communication problems, unclear financial reporting, missed follow-up or a lack of proactive support. Committees do not need to wait for a major breakdown before reviewing their options.

How do I change strata managers in NSW?

Review the existing agreement and notice requirements, discuss the proposed change with the strata committee, compare suitable management proposals and arrange for the owners corporation to vote at a general meeting.

Does changing strata managers require an owners corporation vote?

The appointment should be formally considered and approved by the owners corporation at a properly convened general meeting. The exact process should reflect the scheme’s circumstances and current management agreement.

The timeframe usually depends on the existing agreement’s expiry or notice provisions and when the required general meeting can be held. Reviewing the contract early helps the committee create a realistic transition plan.

Relevant books, records, financial information, accounts and official documents are transferred from the outgoing manager to the incoming manager as part of the handover process.
