Strata and Community Title in NSW – Extra Steps for Display Contracts

If you are selling a strata or community title property in NSW and rely on basic title documents alone, you may not be giving buyers what the law requires.

Strata and community schemes involve additional documentation, including by‑laws, levies and management statements. Missing or incomplete information in the display contract can delay your sale and expose you to disputes. Buyers are increasingly careful about scheme rules and costs, and their advisors will look closely at what has been disclosed.

Problems include:

• buyers claiming they were not properly informed of by‑laws or levies

• confusion over parking, storage and common property use

• challenges to the validity of the contract where prescribed documents were missing

We obtain the necessary strata or community records and ensure they are incorporated into your display contract. We also highlight key by‑laws or scheme rules so you understand what buyers will see and can respond consistently to questions during the campaign.

If you are preparing to sell a strata or community title property in NSW, please contact us so we can gather and include the correct documents from the outset, rather than trying to fix missing disclosure when a buyer has already committed.
