A Vital Perspective
Strata reports are like health checks on strata schemes.
They offer invaluable insights into whether the scheme is well-managed, and may reveal issues relating to harmony between owners.
If you’re looking to buy a strata property, a strata report is a must-have tool.
By having a strata report prepared by a strata professional, you can be sure someone who understands the ins and outs of strata schemes and their management has inspected the books and records.
This may lead to the identification of missing records or issues within the scheme (major works, disputes, etc.) and provide an independent and objective view into the state of the strata scheme.
Informed
An experienced strata manager with an IT background brings deep strata and data systems knowledge to all searches
Independent
We believe independent advice is critical to our customers. Reports for buyers and vendors receive the same level of objectivity.
Professional
In NSW, strata managers undertake mandatory annual training, and Select Strata Reports holds professional indemnity insurance.

Endorsements
Sean is among the best-educated non-lawyers I have encountered in over 20 years of strata legal practice.
His ability to think critically about legal issues – including to identify what matters, interrogate the detail, and reach sound conclusions – exceeds that of some of the most seasoned strata practitioners.
He brings to every conversation a rare rigour and precision.

I have worked with Sean McNamara for more than seven years, during which time I have provided legal services and training.
During that time, Sean has consistently demonstrated a genuine commitment to being at the forefront of compliance, training, and education, while delivering a professional and personalised service.
He is a good manager of people, staff and clients, and is also adept at technical and difficult strata matters across a diverse array of issues.

I can think of no one more suited to undertake the important work of strata searches than Sean.
Sean has more than two decades of experience in strata as a manager, consultant, commentator and owners’ representative. Moreover, Sean pays close attention to detail. This skill will serve purchasers well, as he forensically examines the records of each scheme he inspects.
I will be recommending Sean’s services to my clients and their professional associates without hesitation.

Over the years I have had a number of dealings with Sean whether it be when acting for a client and he was the strata manager for that particular scheme, when conducting training for strata management firms or at industry conferences.
Recently I directly observed his interaction with lot owners at North Sydney Council’s Sustainability Series, where we were both presenters and discussion facilitators. In addition to his professionalism and strata industry knowledge Sean brought to the session his enthusiasm and passion in the strata industry. Sean patiently explained concepts and listened to lot owner needs.
I have found him to be engaging, knowledgeable and professional with a love for the strata industry.
