It's the heart of a Sydney winter, and that means one thing for many apartments: condensation. β„οΈπŸ’§

When warm, moist indoor air meets cold windows and walls, moisture settles β€” and mould loves it. In fact, recent industry data suggests roughly three-quarters of dampness reported in Sydney apartments comes down to poor ventilation rather than a structural leak.

A few simple habits make a big difference this season:

Run exhaust fans during and after showers and cooking
Crack a window for cross-flow ventilation, even briefly each day
Wipe down condensation on windowsills and shower screens
Avoid drying laundry indoors without ventilation
Report any leaks, damp patches or musty smells early

Not sure whether mould is a lot-owner or owners corporation responsibility? It usually comes down to the cause and location. If you're unsure, that's exactly what we're here for β€” reach out and we'll help you work it through.

Research shows that buildings where owner-occupiers make up the majority of residents hold their value better, look better, and attract stronger buyer competition at resale.

Why? Because people who live in their own building care deeply about how it's maintained, presented, and managed.

At Strata One, we help foster exactly that culture β€” strong communities where residents feel invested, maintenance standards are high, and everyone wins.

That's the Strata One difference.

A new financial year means budgets, levy reviews and capital works planning. And with 2026's NSW reforms reshaping the sector, now's the time for a strata manager who's on the front foot.

At Strata One, proactive isn't a buzzword β€” it's how we work. Less stress, fewer surprises, a thriving community.

29/06/2026

NSW strata reforms that commenced in July 2025 recognise the growing importance of sustainability in strata communities and encourage owners corporations to support environmentally responsible initiatives. The reforms prohibit by-laws that prevent sustainability infrastructure, including solar panels and EV charging infrastructure, solely because of their impact on the appearance of a building, except where the building is heritage-listed or located within a heritage conservation area. These changes reflect the understanding that improving sustainability is a collective effort that benefits the entire community by reducing environmental impacts, supporting the transition to cleaner energy, and helping future-proof strata schemes for generations to come.

Understanding the dividing line between your lot and common property can save a lot of confusion β€” and money. In NSW strata schemes, the answer is not always as simple as "inside is yours and outside is common property."

As a general guide, lot owners are typically responsible for the internal surfaces of their unit, such as paint, wall coverings and floor coverings. The owners corporation is generally responsible for common property, which may include structural walls, ceilings, floors, roofs, windows, doors, balconies and building services. However, the exact boundary depends on the registered strata plan and any applicable by-laws.

Because every scheme is different, it's important to check your strata plan before arranging repairs or maintenance. When in doubt, ask your strata manager β€” we're always here to help.

Every so often, a resident in a strata scheme doesn't follow the rules β€” and the committee needs to respond. The most common disputes between owners include unauthorised parking of vehicles in another resident's car bay, nuisance pets, and excessive noise complaints. The recommended approach is to start with communication β€” often the resident may not be aware their behaviour is impacting others or breaching by-laws β€” and only escalate formally if early resolution fails. Effective by-law enforcement is about fairness and community harmony, not confrontation. That's the balance a good strata manager helps you strike. βš–οΈ

Noise complaints are one of the most common complaints in strata living. The best course of action to take is to:

1. Keep a Record including dates and times of the noise, the type of noise (music, parties, barking dogs, shouting, renovations, etc.), how long it lasts as well as any impact on your enjoyment of your lot.

A detailed log can be valuable if the matter needs to be formally addressed.

2. Speak to the neighbour. If you feel comfortable doing so, a polite conversation can often resolve the issue. Sometimes residents are unaware that their activities are disturbing others.

3. Contact the Strata Manager or Committee. If the noise continues you can:

Submit a written complaint to the strata manager or strata committee.
Include your noise diary and any supporting evidence.

Ask that the resident be reminded of their obligations under the by-laws.

Not all strata schemes are created equal β€” and today's property market is recognising the strengths of different types of developments. Boutique apartment complexes are often valued for their higher proportion of land ownership, greater sense of community and limited supply, factors that can support long-term capital growth. Larger apartment communities, meanwhile, can offer residents access to premium facilities, professional building management and economies of scale that help spread operating costs across more owners.🏒

If you're on a strata committee, this one's for you. Upcoming reforms will introduce a compulsory educational requirement for all members of a strata committee β€” ensuring that those making decisions about your building are properly equipped to do so. We think this is a great step forward. An informed committee makes better decisions, builds stronger communities, and protects property values. Strata One supports our committees every step of the way β€” from onboarding to ongoing guidance. πŸ“š
