What are strata management disbursements?
Disbursements are out-of-pocket costs the strata manager passes through to the scheme on top of their agency fee — typically printing, postage, bank fees, EFT fees, search fees, and document storage. They can add 10–25% to a manager's headline fee.
Always ask for a full disbursement schedule before signing any agency agreement. Some unethical managers use disbursements as a hidden profit centre. Modern, owner-friendly agreements either include disbursements in the headline fee or cap them at the manager's actual cost.
