A rundown house that shares a wall with one of Sydney’s most notorious prisons has sold for more than $900,000 over reserve at an auction described as “emotionally charged”.
“It was an emotionally charged auction,” he said. “It went way above what we expected.”
“Sharing a wall with the jail, it’s different. Some people didn’t know how that would work, but others didn’t mind,” Mr Brodie said. Inmates at the prison include former Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer, former police sergeant and convicted murderer Roger Rogerson and serial gang rapist Bilal Skaf. Auctioneer James Kurley received an opening bid of $1.6 million, in line with the reserve, and four of the registered parties made bids.
