Buying a strata apartment in NSW? The strata report is hundreds of pages of legal and financial jargon most buyers skip — and that's where costly surprises hide. StrataClear analyses your report in minutes, surfacing capital works fund health, special levy risks, building defects, NCAT disputes, and insurance gaps — all in plain English. Upload your report. Get a clear risk summary. Know what you're buying before you sign.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Pete, founder of StrataClear.
The idea came from a close call. A few years ago I was considering a property in Sydney and pulled the report- 300+ pages. I read it, or thought I did. The $250,000 special levy I nearly missed was in there. It just required knowing where to look, how financial statements and meeting minutes connect, and what the warning signs actually look like.
That's a learnable skill. It's just completely unreasonable to expect buyers to develop it.
In Sydney, properties can sell in days. Engaging a conveyancer and a professional strata reviewer for every unit you're considering is expensive and slow — so most buyers don't do it until they're already serious, by which point they've already committed time and money before knowing if a property is worth pursuing.
StrataClear is designed to fit earlier in that process. Upload the report, get a structured risk summary in minutes:
• Financial health — admin fund, capital works fund, levy history
• Special levies — past, active, and flagged for approval
• Structural and compliance issues, with severity ratings
• Bylaw restrictions — short-term rental bans, pet policies, renovation rules
• The exact questions to ask before you exchange
Every finding links back to the source page so you can verify it yourself. We're not asking you to trust the AI blindly — we're giving you a map to what matters.
It's not a replacement for professional advice when you're serious about a property. It's the fast, affordable sense-check that helps you decide which ones are worth that investment in the first place.
I'm a software engineer and property investor — I've spent the past decade investing in Australian strata while working in AI and engineering, most recently at AWS. This is the tool I wish had existed when I started.
Would love to hear from buyers, buyers' agents, and conveyancers — or anyone who's ever stared at a 300-page strata report and wondered where to start. Happy to answer everything below 👇
