Home Decoded reads the reports you already paid for and tells you what actually matters — with the exact quote and page behind every single finding, so you can check us against your own document.
Free, no account needed for the sample. Your own reports from $19.
The strata report gives the administrative fund's cash at bank as a debit balance — the fund the scheme pays its day-to-day bills from is empty and overdrawn.
A scheme that cannot pay its bills from levies usually raises a special levy. As the incoming owner, that bill would be partly yours.
“Approximate cash at bank balance of the Administrative Fund: $1,872.46 Dr”
“THAT the owners corporation engages a contractor to inspect the complex for evidence of termite activity. Motion DEFEATED.”
No finding appears without a verbatim quote and the page it sits on. If we can't quote it, we don't claim it.
“What the document says” and “what it might mean” are labelled separately, so you always know which is which.
Half a strata report is often scanned images. Anything read that way is badged, because we can't machine-check it against a text layer.
Four document types, up to 300 pages each. Eight to fifteen minutes — including the scanned attachments where the real findings usually hide. You can close the tab.
The high-risk findings are lifted to the top of the report, each with its quote and page.
A summary whose numbers don't match the attached statements. A lot number that changes between pages. We flag both.
Specific, numbered, addressed to whoever can answer — strata manager, inspector, conveyancer.
Areas the inspector couldn't access, records not sighted, certificates missing. Gaps count as findings.
Credits never expire. No subscription — you’re buying a house, not software.
One document. The red flags in it, quoted and page-cited.
Up to four documents, cross-referenced against each other — including where they contradict each other.
Three full decodes. Most buyers look at more than one place before they win one.
All prices in Australian dollars and include GST.
We keep a sample strata decode on the site — every section, every citation, nothing held back. If the writing isn’t useful to you, don’t spend the $19.
