Strata Management for Property Developers

Successful projects don’t end at settlement. Their long-term success relies on how well the strata is established and managed.

Why Developers Partner with Love & Co

Property developers choose Love & Co because we remove risk and deliver certainty.

With over 1,500 schemes under our management, we know how to align design, compliance, and operations so your project runs smoothly and leaves a strong impression on purchasers.

Our involvement has helped developers avoid costly redesigns by identifying layout issues early, while ensuring amenities are delivered in a way that is both premium and cost-efficient.

Engage Early: Why Timing Matters

The best results come when you engage Love & Co during the design stage. We help set up the plan of subdivision correctly, establish tailored rules, and make sure amenities and common property will work in practice.

Even if you’re already a step beyond that, bringing us in at least six to eight months before settlement still allows time to embed robust strata systems. This ensures budgets, contracts, and governance are in place so settlements proceed smoothly and buyers have confidence in the scheme.

Strategic Consultancy at Design & Planning Stage

Our team works directly with your architects and consultants to make sure the building is not only saleable but also functional long after handover.

This includes:

  • Drafting consolidated rules that support both developer goals and future owner harmony.
  • Optimising common areas to reduce long-term maintenance costs and keep levies competitive.
  • Aligning amenities with your brand and with what residents expect in a high-quality home.
  • Future-proofing operations by anticipating maintenance and compliance needs before they become costly problems.

In practice, this can mean something as simple as reconfiguring a waste room layout to free up additional saleable area; a small change with significant commercial benefit.

Setting Realistic Budgets

We prepare detailed two-year operational budgets within two to three weeks. These are based on live contractor pricing, our portfolio data across 1,500+ schemes, and benchmarking against comparable buildings.

Because our budgets are grounded in real conditions, they stand up to scrutiny from buyers and financiers. We have never had to raise an insufficient funds levy in the first year of operation, protecting both developers and purchasers from unnecessary disputes.

From Settlement Through the First Year

Once the Owners Corporation is created, we manage the transition from developer to community. This includes:

  • Running the inaugural general meeting and executing key agreements.
  • Setting up banking, insurance, and levy systems.
  • Issuing welcome packs and activating the owner portal.
  • Overseeing defect rectification with the builder during the liability period.
  • Keeping communication clear so buyers understand the distinct roles of developer, builder, and manager.

We stay actively involved through the first AGM, providing committee training, tailored governance handbooks, and hands-on support to capture defects early. This reduces long-term costs for the OC and helps build a cooperative ownership culture from the outset.

Why Choose Love & Co

We are a family-owned Australian business with 80 years of industry experience, combining boutique attention with the resources of a large-scale operator. Our award-winning team takes a proactive, partnership-driven approach so your project is delivered as a success story, not just another scheme in the portfolio.

"Since we first met Kathryn at the initial AGM, we have all been particularly impressed by her professionalism, been punctual, delivering on budget and most importantly been always available whenever we needed some additional information. Coming from the previous management style experience, now we all feel much more comfortable with Kathryn. So far we give Kathryn and Love & Co Strata 10 out of 10!!!”

“Edward Love & the Love & Co Team have been great to deal with. We have recently moved from another agency and couldn’t be happier with the professionalism and efficiency. The personalised attention from the feeling of a small business was great and he is really well resourced and knowledgeable to manage property in the 21st century without losing the personal touch.”
