Strata Title Administration

What Strata Title Administration does

Strata Title Administration Limited is a privately held New Zealand company, founded in 1996, that provides professional Body Corporate management services to unit title developments across New Zealand. The company serves Body Corporates (the primary segment), Incorporated Societies, Residents' Associations, and individual unit title property owners, handling the legal, financial, and administrative burden of multi-unit ownership including levy collection, insurance arrangement, financial reporting, maintenance coordination, dispute resolution, and compliance with the Unit Titles Act. The team of more than 25 staff is qualified across property law, accountancy, valuation, property management, and property insurance, and the company operates from offices in Auckland (headquarters), Wellington, and Christchurch.

The core offering combines this professional service delivery with a digital platform comprising the Strata Connect Owner Portal (a secure 24/7 online portal for levies, invoices, documents, meeting agendas, and minutes) and the Strata Title mobile app, launched in October 2024 for iOS and Android, which extends portal access to mobile and adds electronic voting and committee invoice approval. Underlying operational components include ASB Bank-held trust accounts that are audited independently every two months, a partner network of independent insurance brokers and registered property valuers, and direct engagement with body corporates, unit owners, and property developers through in-office consultations, phone, online contact forms, and self-serve portal/app channels.

Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based Body Corporate management fees deducted from collected levies, billed annually, plus managed-services economics from levy collection and creditor payment administration. Pricing is quote-based and varies with property size, unit count, and service scope, and is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on professional consultations, a free switching-onboarding process, referrals, and developer relationships rather than performance marketing. The company has been bootstrapped since founding with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or funding rounds.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• AppFolio: US-based cloud property management software provider for residential, commercial, and community association managers. An enabling/competing technology platform whose owner-portal and accounting features overlap with the Strata Connect portal offering.
• Yardi: Global property management software vendor used by many residential and commercial property managers, including strata and HOA operators. Comparable as the underlying technology stack that Strata's portal and mobile app compete against, rather than a direct service competitor.

Broad incumbents

• FirstService Residential: North America's largest residential property and HOA management company, offering full-service administration for condominiums and homeowners associations. Comparable in service scope (financial, insurance, maintenance, governance) but at vastly greater scale and as part of a broader real estate services portfolio.
• Associa: Large US-based community association management firm serving HOAs, condominiums, and co-ops with financial, maintenance, and governance services. Closely comparable business model to Strata, but operates as a broad incumbent across thousands of communities rather than a specialist NZ firm.
• Bayleys Real Estate: Major New Zealand full-service real estate agency with property management capabilities for apartments, townhouses, and mixed-use schemes. Provides adjacent Body Corporate-adjacent services within a broader real estate sales and management portfolio, competing indirectly for the same multi-unit owner customer base.
• Colliers International New Zealand: Global real estate services firm with a New Zealand operations arm offering property and facilities management for commercial and mixed-use assets. Comparable in delivering professional property administration and client reporting, but oriented toward commercial rather than residential Body Corporate clients.

Direct peers

• Quinovic: New Zealand residential property and tenancy management franchise group with Body Corporate-adjacent services for multi-unit owners. Comparable in customer base (NZ landlords and Body Corporates) and recurring fee-based business model, though broader in residential tenancy than purely Body Corporate.
• Crockers Body Corporate Management: One of the largest dedicated Body Corporate management firms in New Zealand, offering levy collection, insurance coordination, financial administration, and dispute services for unit-title schemes. Closest direct competitor to Strata Title Administration in the same product category, customer segment, and geography.

Regional players

• Bright & Duggan: Australian strata and community-title management company serving Owners Corporations across NSW and other states. Highly comparable operating model (levy collection, insurance placement, financial administration, meetings) but operates in the Australian, not New Zealand, market.
