Strata Guide Shop

Our downloadable guides are crafted from real questions and scenarios we've encountered with strata buyers and owners.

They're designed to provide clear, actionable insights without the legal jargon.

Hi, I'm Craig Baylis, founder of Coastal Strata.

I started Coastal Strata in 2011 to help property buyers across NSW better understand what they’re purchasing.

Since then, I’ve written thousands of strata inspection reports and worked closely with buyers, owners, and committee members navigating real-world strata issues, not just legal theory.

I’ve also owned strata property myself, including two separate residential units (now sold) and a commercial unit in a small strata complex that I currently self-manage.

I serve on the committee and have previously acted as a BMC representative, so I understand the hands-on side of strata ownership and decision-making.

These guides are based on that mix of professional and personal experience. They’re written to help you move forward with clarity and confidence, whether you're buying, managing, or just trying to make sense of it all.

Not sure which guide fits your situation? Just reach out, I’m always happy to help.
