Fire damaged Surry Hills property sells for just under a million

Surry Hills, we need to ask, "U OK HUN?", because over the weekend you out Sydney-ed yourself when a fire damaged property sold for $911,000 at auction. The red hot property is charred on the inside, meaning that somebody dished out just under 1 million dollars for a burnt sausage of a house. The shoebox terrace caught alight earlier this year, and residents had to be rescued from the bedroom upstairs. With some work (the buyer was conveniently a builder) the property could go on the fetch well above 1.5 million after renovations, so if you had the ca$h, this could in fact prove to be a decent deal. There's a better chance you're more like the rest of us, who will continue to look for rental properties that aren't on fire and in an ideal world won't cost more than half of you weekly salary.
