780 Bourke Street Redfern
SP 54721 Redfern Sydney New South Wales
Verdict
Public record: 2 tribunal matters, no building-work orders. A reasonable pre-screen, but not the full picture, the financials and minutes that decide the purchase are in the report, not the registers. Read it, and obtain a section 184 strata search, before you bid.
Cost exposure
Indicative, itemised estimate of what one average lot here could face, built only from this scheme's public-record signals. Indicative ranges, not this building's actual figures, and not financial advice.
Moderate- $9,500
Waterproofing and common-property repair
Indicative per-lot waterproofing and common-property repair levies (strata special-levy reporting). Scaled for: 1 matter; older scheme.
- $3,700
Tribunal and legal costs
Indicative per-lot share of tribunal and legal costs in a strata dispute (NCAT). Scaled for: 2 matters.

Decisions naming this scheme, from NSW Caselaw (NCAT and the courts). The quoted line beneath each is the decision's own catchwords; the topic tag is our grouping of those words. Whether a matter helped or hurt the scheme is not assessed here.
Statutory-warranty outlook
- Structural cover
- Likely expired · est. expiry 8 May 2004
- Non-structural cover
- Ran to 8 May 2004
A single 7-year warranty period applies because the scheme was registered before the 1 February 2012 reform. Estimated from the registration date, not the completion date or building contract, so treat the dates as indicative.
