Frequently Asked Questions

What Does Strata Insurance Cover?

Residential strata insurance covers the building and any common property as listed on the title. This includes gardens, lifts, car parks, swimming pools, balconies, walls, windows, wiring, pipes, floors, and ceilings etc. Body corporate insurance does not cover any belongings in an individual lot including any internal fittings, furniture, or personal possessions.

What Do My Quarterly Contributions Go Towards?

Quarterly payments are gathered from all unit owners and the amount you pay will usually be worked out based on the unimproved value of your lot. The higher the value of your lot, the more your quarterly contributions will be. These payments are used for the running costs and maintenance of common property including things like cleaning, Strata insurance, electricity, landscaping, and routine checks of fire alarms.

What Kind of Insurance Do I Need for My Home?

That depends – likely, contents insurance and potentially building insurance.

Is your home part of a Strata, Community or Body Corporate? If so, the building insurance will be handled differently. Your Strata Manager will be able to advise on whether or not your property is protected under the group’s cover, or if you will be required to arrange your own building insurance for your lot.

However, when it comes to insurance on contents, it is always on the onus of the owner to arrange coverage. Contents insurance will essentially cover all of your personal belongings, floor coverings, internal fixtures and fittings and appliances (like your oven, dishwasher, wardrobes etc.), in the case of any damage occurring.

Is There a Difference Between Strata Title, Body Corporate, and Community Title?

The terms Strata Title, Community Title, and Body Corporate are often used interchangeably, but there’s no significant difference in the meaning.

The confusion comes from a change in legislation back in 1996 which was changed from the Strata Titles Act to the Community Titles Act. So anything built pre-1996 is a Strata Title and anything post-1996 is Community Title. Body Corporate is used for both titles.

What Is Strata Management?

When an apartment block or group of townhouses are subdivided under Community or residential Strata Title, a managing body is required to maintain common property and manage issues that concern the owners. Owning a dwelling in a Community or Strata Title property means that you own your ‘lot’ as well as a proportion of the building common areas.

With so many parties involved in decision making affecting common property, it’s generally more efficient for a body corporate to hire a professional Strata management team to deal with the everyday running of the property. Strata managers are appointed by the body corporate to act on behalf of the owners collectively.
