Victoria Strata Document Review

Victoria's strata market includes many 1970s and 1980s buildings in James Bay, Fernwood and around downtown, along with newer towers in the core. The Capital Regional District was one of the areas with the earliest deadline for catching up on depreciation reports. A review checks whether the strata has a current report and is funding what it recommends.

What the numbers mean for buyers

Much of Victoria's strata stock is now more than 35 years old. Buildings that age are typically replacing roofs, windows, balconies, elevators and plumbing, so the questions that matter most are how much is in the reserve fund and whether the latest study says it's enough. About 36.9% of buildings here were built before 1980, so older buildings are a big part of the market.
