A dozen more homes set for Millers Point auction
After the record breaking sale of Darling House last week, the Government Property NSW have listed a further 12 properties in Millers Point.
Being sold on behalf of the Department of Family and Community Services, the houses include a four bedroom Victorian style terrace on Kent Street and a former boarding house on Fort Street.
The owners of the heritage listed properties have a responsibility to undertake some sort of maintenance or restoration of their newly acquired properties in accordance with the Conversation Management Plans (CMP's).
Each owner will sign a contract which will highlight their development responsibilities.
The proceeds from the Millers Point sales are being reinvested into 1,500 new social housing dwellings across New South Wales with 100 already completed.
The biggest sale since the start of the sell off came last Thursday when Darling House secured $7.7 million, $1.7 million over its auction guide.
The sale took the total of sales to over $120 million.
The below properties are the new batch and will be marketed by McGrath Estate Agents and will be auctioned March 30.
