A home in Wickham, Western Australia, has been listed for $120,000, but prospective buyers are alerted to significant issues including illicit drug contamination and extensive damage to the walls. The real estate listing for the three-bedroom, one-bathroom property on McCourt Way, located two hours south of Port Hedland, warns that the house will 'need a fair bit of work' and requires additional legal documents to be signed before viewing.
Pilbara Real Estate's listing explicitly states that potential owners must sign a waiver and be aware of 'illicit drug contamination as identified in the Environment Testing Report.' Full disclosure documents regarding the testing report and remediation guidelines for clandestine drug laboratories will be provided. Photographs accompanying the listing reveal large holes in the walls, with insulation exposed in some areas, and graffiti present in at least one room.
The property, built in 1976 on a 697sqm block, also features an undercover patio and backyard with what are described as 'beautiful Australian trees.' It is situated a short distance from local amenities including a school, shopping center, bistro, and sporting facilities.
The listing emphasizes that the property is being sold on an 'as-is, where-is' basis, and all potential buyers must review the draft contract with annexures before making an offer. The competitive price point has sparked discussion on social media, with some users expressing surprise at the condition of the home despite its bargain listing price, while others defend the valuation given the location and the upfront disclosure of the issues.
