Reliable, expert advice about apartment living
Amanda Farmer helps property owners to demystify the legal complexities of apartment living.
Have you just purchased an apartment? What did you get yourself into! What is this bizarre world of draconian rules, nosy neighbours who tell you what you can and can’t do? Why can’t you keep your two cats? Who says you can’t just go ahead and renovate your bathroom? Maybe you haven’t even moved into your unit yet because the developer is one year late finishing the build. Apartment living was supposed to be the ‘simple life’…wasn’t it?
Or, maybe you’re an old hand at this strata stuff. You’ve served on your strata committee for years and you’ve seen it all: the late night parties, the strata manager who doesn’t return phone calls, the neighbours who don’t know a by-law from a bicycle. Maybe you’re a strata manager who deals with trouble makers all day (and most nights); you’re trying to get a handle on the relevant legislation, which seems neverending. How do you, an experienced strata expert, keep on top of the mountain of information that is out there, and sort the valuable from the useless so that you can best serve your community or your clients?
I’m Amanda Farmer, a specialist strata lawyer with over 16 years’ experience in strata and community living. As a Fellow and Council Member of the Australian College of Strata Lawyers, I am a recognised strata expert.
I have built an online community where strata owners and strata managers (whether beginners or experts) can access the information and resources that I know they need to live peacefully and stress-free in their own homes, increase the value of their investment and, in the case of managers, stand out from the competition: confidently managing their clients’ million dollar assets.

Can I ask my strata building to pay for my membership?
It doesn’t hurt to try!
If you are a committee member in a NSW strata or community scheme, you may be entitled to an “honorarium” – a small annual payment for your services as a committee member. Some YSP members who are also committee members ensure that the cost of their YSP membership is covered by their honorarium. If you’d like to find out more about how to claim an honorarium as a committee member, please contact Amanda.
Can my building join, or is membership only for individuals?
We are currently only offering individual memberships. If your building is interested in a ‘building wide’ membership, please let us know via support@yourstrataproperty.com.au and, subject to the level of interest, we will consider offering YSP memberships to buildings.
How do I get access to the membership benefits?
Once your membership has been purchased online, you will receive an email from us confirming your username and password and directing you to log in to the member home page. Once there, you will be able to watch our introductory video. We also have a number of “help” videos within the membership, explaining how to get the most out of your membership.
I am a strata manager. Can I join?
A number of strata managers are currently enjoying the benefits of a YSP membership. Strata managers are are welcome addition to our community.
I am a developer and I want to offer memberships to purchasers buying off the plan. Can I do this?
Yes, we tailor packages for developers looking to add value to their potential purchasers. Developers should contact us directly on support@yourstrataproperty.com.au to discuss their specific development and intentions.
Will my membership automatically renew each year?
Yes. Unless you tell us otherwise, your membership renews on the renewal date.
Can I cancel my monthly membership at any time?
Yes. Payments are deducted from your credit card one month in advance. If you cancel your monthly membership, we will not debit your card the next month.
I am a tenant. Can I join?
Yes, you can certainly join. However, please note that, at this point in time, our products and information services are not directed towards the specific concerns of tenants of strata properties, though you will find that a lot of our content is relevant to your day to day experience living in a strata building.
Do you cater to all Australian jurisdictions?
Although Amanda Farmer is qualified as a NSW lawyer, many members join us from other states and gain great benefit from the membership. Amanda also regularly refers member questions to expert colleagues in other states.
