·    The building is approximately eleven years old and has concrete floors, steel beams, treated timber and steel frame partitions and composite aluminium cladding. The owners have been through a six year protracted claim process and have won a substantial settlement over issues to do with the cladding, waterproofing and workmanship. The funds are in the bank and repairs are about to commence early 2016. Repairs are expected to take up to two years in total with one quarter of the building being fixed at a time (this detail to be further clarified as the building schedule is developed). There will therefore be a period of time for each apartment where occupancy will not be possible whilst local repairs are carried out.
·    Claim funds of over $23m were awarded. The full judgement that includes details of all the works required can be read here: http://raineylaw.co.nz/assets/body-corporate-326421--anor-v-auckland-council--ors-civ-2009-404-008136-....pdf

·    Repair funds held in trust for this apartment’s repair (before interest gained) are noted as $155,360.58 including a 15% contingency. All these figures will be confirmed as part of any purchase process.
·    We have been advised by the Vendor of their intention to leave in the repair claim funds required by Body Corporate. Any escalation or future costs would then be the responsibility of the Purchaser.
