Strata Management in Melbourne

Melbourne has more small strata schemes than anywhere else in Australia. Decades of villa unit construction in the north and south-east, townhouse infill across the middle suburbs, and walk-up flats in the inner ring have left the city with tens of thousands of owners corporations under ten lots — and an industry that was never built to serve them. Traditional strata firms price for towers: typical Melbourne management fees run $300 to $500 per lot per year, often with minimum fees, disbursements and meeting charges layered on top. For a six-lot block in Reservoir or Glenroy, that can mean $2,500 a year for a manager who never visits and takes a week to answer an email.

Small townhouse communities are underserved because they are unprofitable under the old model: the same compliance workload as a large site, spread over fewer lots. We solved that with technology instead of margins. StrataXcel manages owners corporations across Greater Melbourne for a flat $99 per lot per year management fee: AGMs, levies, insurance, maintenance coordination, financial reporting and compliance, all included.Find your suburb below, or run your site's numbers through the calculator.
