A collapsing dump in Annandale has sold for $1.35m.
A Sydney buyer has spent $1.35m on a collapsing dump after seeing it for the first time on auction day.
The home, at 78 Alfred St in Annandale, was fenced off with “drive-by” auctions encouraged due to the dangerous nature of the home which had a collapsing roof, cracking brickwork and overgrown trees tangled throughout.
No reserve price was set for the deceased estate due to government regulations, however it attracted two active bidders who drove the price to $1.35m.

The property had a lot of interest from developers during the marketing campaign due to being a corner block in a prime inner west position.
