I'm sure people know but this is a warning to ppl buying apartment in vic. My friend actually got a strata notice that cladding may need to be replaced in his apartment (approx 5 yrs old). May cost >$1million. Vic (unlike NSW) has a fund to cover certain costs so hopefully the cost would be minimised. He has said that every apartment in victoria needs this so I'd be careful before buying…
anyone have any other input about what's going to happen in NSW?
Most if not all apartment buildings would by now have been checked for flammable cladding and provided a notice by the VBA if they do or don't have cladding. Either way, this should be a standard check when you ask for OC information and would need to be disclosed.
Buyers may think it's about location and views. Nope, it's about cladding and water ingress issues, the latter which can only show up many years after the building is built.
