Strata-property advice

Put building risk in context

An older building is not automatically a poor purchase, and a new building is not automatically risk-free. The important question is whether condition, planning, price and your ownership horizon align.

Common questions

Start with a clear answer.

Is the contingency reserve fund enough?

The balance must be considered with the building’s age, size, planned projects, depreciation report, contribution level and recent spending. A single per-unit number cannot answer the question by itself.

Does William provide legal or engineering opinions?

No. William explains the real-estate implications and helps clients determine when legal, engineering, inspection or other specialized advice is appropriate.
