If you are planning to purchase in a new strata building, and you can’t work out if the levies predicted are reasonable, then you can approach an independent strata manager, and pay them to review the predicted levies, and report to you if they are realistic or not. It’s best to approach a strata manager that is responsible for similar buildings in the same area, and they will normally be able to tell you what the expected range for the levies will be. It will depend on the facilities in the building, and a lift, or 2 lifts, pool, gym, embedded networks, centralised AC or hot water etc, will affect the amount you would expect to pay.
