Prospective purchasers have no rights to inspect the records of the Strata Scheme unless authorised by someone who has, and that’s the Owner (Vendor) or the Mortgagee of a Lot, who can do so or authorise someone else such as a purchaser’s solicitor / conveyancer to do so, for the prescribed fee; currently $30 for the first hour, and $15 for each half-hour thereafter (or part thereof) made to the Owners Corporation.
Owners do have access to summary financial papers at each General Meeting of the Owners Corporation, but if more detail or other records is required then arrangements need to be made in writing, be accompanied by the fee, and be with 10 days notice to whoever it is that holds the records, usually the Scheme’s Strata Manager who by the way can charge additionally for any services that they provide such as photocopying.
