Strata Levies, Villa Units & Contract Traps: Your Questions Answered

Scary strata reports, surprise levies, and the fear of being gazumped — these are the traps that can derail a first home buyer’s journey. In this episode, we dive into the most recent questions buyers are asking in our Facebook Group. You’ll hear how to approach a strata report without panicking, what concrete cancer and special levies actually mean for your wallet, and why some red flags are worth running from — while others can be factored into the price. We also break down the stress of holding deposits and explain exactly when your contract is secure, and when gazumping could still catch you out. Plus, we tackle villa units — a property type that sits somewhere between an apartment and a townhouse — and show you how scarcity and land content affect their long-term value. And if you’re thinking of making an unconditional offer, we cover the must-do checks you cannot afford to skip. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by defects, levies, or confusing contract terms, this conversation will give you the clarity to move forward without regret.
