If you are buying a unit in Homebush West, strata health is one of the most important due-diligence signals available. The data here shows the number of buildings in Homebush West 2140 with open building orders or defect notices, a measure of how much of the suburb's unit stock has known structural, fire-safety, or waterproofing problems that the owners corporation has not yet rectified.
Older apartment buildings in Homebush West, particularly those built in the 1960s through 1980s, may have lower defect-notice counts not because they are in better condition but because they are not subject to the same post-Opal Tower scrutiny. Issues like aluminium cladding, asbestos, and dated electrical systems are more common in older stock and are captured differently in council records. Always commission a building inspection report for the physical condition of the property regardless of what the strata report shows.
