    Hi,

    I’m looking at buying a commercial property and it’s Strata Titled. What are the pitfalls? Is there anything I should be aware of?
    Many Thanks.

    Hi QM.
    What kind of businesses are in the strata plan ?
    How many? Who manages it? Who controls it ? What state of Australia ?
    This was posted a few months ago QM, are you still interested or has this opportunity ceased for you ?
    I’ve had experience owning a commercial property in a strata plan which I’d be happy to add here if you were interested.
    Cheers

    Hi QM

    Is the property for investment or occupation?

    If its for investment the lease covenants would be the most critical aspect? ie strength of tenant, what security is in place, remaining lease term before expiry, who pays outgoings? And almost forgot, how much rent are the obliged to pay?

    The above aspects, inparticulary rent and lease term will also be important for debt funding. Commercial property lending isn’t like residential property in that a lender will like/need to see sufficient remaining lease term beyond the loan term.

    Cheers
    Rhys

    I am totally agree with above statement If its for investment the lease covenants would be the most critical aspect? ie strength of tenant, what security is in place, remaining lease term before expiry, who pays outgoings?
    However you need to think about it again.

    Hi Andrew,
    Will any of the following add more upside?

    1. further subdivide a large enough strata
    2. consolidate multiple adjoining smaller strata

    Is buying strata in general a poor investment choice?

    Thanks.
