    This document provides guidance on preparing identification survey reports for strata lots. It notes that such reports are now rare but may be needed to address issues like unit numbering not matching lot numbers. The report should be in letter format, address the client's particular concerns by inspecting the strata lot and plan, and highlight the relevant part of the strata plan. It recommends including identification of the lot and strata plan, a description of the strata lot, comments on relevant issues, and matters that were not addressed. The typical report structure outlines paragraphs to acknowledge instructions, identify the lot, relate the lot to the unit description, comment on relevant strata plan issues, ownership matters, and list any unaddressed relevant matters.

    IDENTIFICATION SURVEY REPORTS ON STRATA LOTS
    Identification reports on strata units are fairly rare now, so it would be reasonable to
    enquire the purpose of the report to try to pin down the particular concern.
    Concerns could include:
    Unit numbering not matching lot numbering
    Floor numbers on site not matching level numbers in Strata Plan
    Strata Plan being part of a confusing staged scheme or part building strata
    Ambiguities of ownership due to legislation
    Obligations regarding parts of the structure or fencing
    Implications of structures erected after registration of the strata plan
    Lot or part lot areas
    Most of the presentation suggestions in the ISNSW policy document on Identification
    Surveys will apply.
    As for Survey Reports on non-strata properties it is recommended the report be in
    letter form addressed to the client and limited to the particular transactions.
    Search as a minimum should include the Strata Plan, the CP title, the lot title and
    any strata plans of subdivision or easement plans affecting the subject lot. By-laws
    may also need to be searched.
    Generally the purpose of the report will be to act as the "eyes" for a purchaser,
    solicitor or financier who may not necessarily visit the unit or may not be able to read
    a Strata Plan.
    The report will thus cover an audit of the lot and the strata plan (generally by
    inspection) to assess anything stated by the client to be a concern and any other
    item the surveyor regards as significant to the client. Any significant matters not
    covered in the report should be mentioned such as "positions of perimeter fences
    have not been investigated for the purpose of this report".
    Rather than re-draw a sketch the relevant sheets of the strata plan can be attached
    with the parts of the subject lot colour-highlighted.
    Financiers like to see the words "Lot ?in SP ? is the same as Unit ? on the ? floor of
    "UNITLAND" No., Street, Suburb and consists of unit, courtyard, carspace, store
    etc.
    Unless requested the area would generally not be re-measured and any reference to
    the lot area should be qualified as being sourced from the strata plan itself.
    Unless requested the By-laws may not necessarily be investigated as they are
    attached to the contract for sale.
    A typical report could be set out:
    Paragraph 1. - Acknowledge instruction, specify transaction,
    specify date of search, mention annexure of coloured SP.
    Paragraph 2. - Identify lot, SP, locality, LGA, Parish, County,
    Title.

    Paragraph 3. - Relate lot and SP to the description of the unit
    Paragraph 4. - Make comments on matters concerning the
    strata plan, unit or CP that have been identified by inspection as relevant.
    Paragraph 5. - Make comment on structure, defining ownership
    and any ambiguous items such as air conditioners, hot water services, pergolas,
    floor and wall tiles, floating timber floors, retaining walls in courtyards etc.
    Paragraph 6. - List any matters that could possibly be relevant
    that have not been addressed (e.g. By-laws, fencing etc.).
    Paragraph 7. - List any relevant notations on the titles of the lot
    or CP.
    Paragraph 8. - State unit entitlement of the lot (include the UE
    sheet of the SP with the subject UE highlighted).
