This building has 102 recorded sales since 2013; 98% of its 45 tracked resales sold above the owner's purchase price; and an in-force Building Commission order stands over the building. Every figure below is a government record with its source named — and the last section lists what the public record cannot tell you.
Building Commission order
An in-force NSW Building Commission rectification order stands over this building, issued 2026-04-30 — Building Work Rectification Order for Basebuild Pty Limited. Read the order on the public register →
Measured on the register × sales corpus: buildings under an in-force order settle around 10% below comparable stock, and the study found the haircut does not heal when the order lifts. Our price estimates for this building carry that adjustment — an official public record, stated factually, not a verdict on any individual home.
Every sale in this building
102 priced transfers on the public record since 2013 (sales before the 2015 registration are off-the-plan contracts, dated at signing). Across 45 same-unit resales, owners held a median 6.6 years and 98% sold above what they paid (median +5.1%/yr gross — price only, before costs and any renovation).
In the last three years, 17 lots changed hands — 30% of the scheme's 57 lots. Trailing 36 months of VG transfers ÷ registered lot count.
NSW Valuer General bulk property sales information (CC-BY), every lot sharing this building's property id; addresses and unit labels are the register's own strings. Resale pairs under 3 months apart or settling on the same date are excluded; growth figures are gross price movements, not returns.
What units here actually rent for
Real transacted rents — every residential bond lodged in postcode 2300 (NSW Fair Trading, CC-BY). Postcode is the finest geography the source publishes; the middle half (25th–75th percentile) is shown because identical floor plans in one building can lease hundreds apart.

What this dossier cannot tell you
Stated so a gap never reads as a clean bill (rule 7's positive form — silence is not evidence):
- The strata books. Levies, the capital-works (sinking) fund, insurance, AGM minutes, and any defect claims in progress are not public records. Only a strata report — a paid inspection of the owners corporation's own books — has them. If you are serious about a unit here, buy that report; nothing on this page substitutes for it.
- When the building was actually completed. The 2015 registration date is a floor — the scheme existed by then. Occupation certificates aren't in our sources; a conveyancer can obtain them.
- Bedrooms on sales records. The Valuer General publishes no bedroom counts, so the sales above are every configuration pooled — a $732k sale and a $1.38M sale may be different-sized homes, not a price swing.
- This building's own rents. Bond data is postcode-grain — the ranges above are the area's real transactions, not this building's ledger.
- Why any individual vendor is selling. The patterns above are the building's record; no line on this page is a claim about a particular home or owner.
