What could lower strata costs mean for apartment values?

Enter the number of apartments and today's average sale value. We then show an illustrative 3% and 6% collective uplift.

1. How many apartments are there? Total number of residential apartments in the scheme.

2. Average apartment sale value today Enter the current approximate average market value per apartment.

Collective apartment value$44,000,000

Current strata costs$0 / month

POTENTIAL $0 — AND THE PROPERTY-VALUE UPLIFT IS THE BONUS.

The operating-cost savings case comes first. Potential value uplift from lower ongoing ownership costs and stronger green credentials sits on top.

3% uplift

$0 per apartment

4% uplift

5% uplift

The key point: the property-value uplift does not need to occur for the operating-cost savings case to stand on its own. It is an additional potential benefit.

Illustrative only. This calculator does not predict or guarantee property prices. Actual resale outcomes vary by market conditions, buyer demand, apartment type, agent, location and the extent to which lower strata costs influence purchaser decisions.

But let's be realistic. Do we not think that having zero strata costs would increase the value of the apartment? We have researched with many real estate agents, and they believe it's between three and six percent uplift. But obviously, that's all up to you.
