Active Mould Contamination — NATA-Certified Laboratory Confirmed
Tested 27 March 2026 by NoToxRox Building Biology.
Lab results from Eurofins (NATA Accredited, Report 1341343-ML).
Massage Room
Office
HEALTH HAZARD
- Dominant species: Aspergillus/Penicillium — 98–99% of all spores — a documented health hazard
- Chaetomium detected in massage room — a confirmed water damage indicator species proving chronic long-term moisture exposure
- Active hyphal fragments (live mould growth) found across all indoor samples
- Musty odour at entrance — microbial gases (mVOCs) being released from active growth inside the walls
Indoor humidity 63.5%, driven by moisture retained in the building structure itself.
Unsellable for Over 2.5 Years
First listed November 2023. Still unsold April 2026.
Three separate agents. Three campaigns. Zero sales.
Every buyer who searches this property online immediately sees the failure history.
Severely Overpriced
- Vendor bought for $3,250,000 in June 2022 — now asking $4.3m
- The Hills Shire acreage market declined approximately 5% year-on-year through 2024
- High interest rates have significantly reduced buyer borrowing capacity
- Purchased at the peak of the post-COVID boom — that market has not returned
The Mould is Structural — Cannot Be Cleaned Away
Root cause: a large ornamental pond built directly against a below-ground wall with no adequate drainage.
- External ground level is higher than the internal floor level of the massage room — water flows directly into the building
- External wall moisture reading: 607 REL (extremely high)
- Paving installed directly against the wall with no drainage clearance
- Garden beds pressed against the building envelope
- Subfloor drainage area blocked with debris and moisture
Works required: Excavation, pond reconfiguration or removal, waterproofing of below-ground walls, full demolition and rebuild of massage room and office.
Building Report — Additional Defects
Termite Risk
The property backs directly onto Category 1 bushland — the highest termite risk environment in Australia
Rising Damp
High moisture readings in the office — likely shower membrane breach or rising damp. Rising damp also in the garage
Blocked Weep Holes
Blocked weep holes around the brick perimeter — moisture building up inside walls
Wood Rot
Wood rot on front, side and rear elevations. Timber under deck in direct ground contact — a known termite entry point
Crime — National Media Coverage on This Street
February 2026
NSW Police executed a search warrant on a property on Wildthorn Avenue, Dural.
The property was identified as the stronghold where 85-year-old grandfather Chris Baghsarian was kidnapped and tortured in a case of mistaken identity.
Three men have now been charged.
Covered nationally by ABC News, 7NEWS, Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, Sky News and others — the street name published repeatedly and permanently searchable online.
The target buyer for a $4m+ acreage property is an affluent family seeking safety and privacy — that buyer actively avoids this street.
Bushfire Zone — Vegetation Category 1
The property sits within a Vegetation Category 1 bushfire zone — the highest risk classification under NSW RFS guidelines.
- Properties within 100 metres of Category 1 vegetation are typically assigned BAL-40 or Flame Zone ratings — the two most severe
- Any renovation or new construction requires expensive BAL-compliant materials and approvals
- Insurance premiums are significantly elevated; some insurers have withdrawn from this market entirely
- Some lenders apply lower LVR limits or additional conditions on high-BAL properties
- Narrows the buyer pool and increases ongoing ownership costs
EMF — Power Lines
- 33,000-volt (33kV) power lines located approximately 170–200 metres from the dwelling
- Bedroom 4 recorded 0.99mG under Building Biology precautionary guidelines
- Measurable and visible from the property — a deterrent for health-conscious buyers
Legal Exposure for Agent and Vendor
The listing agent is now in possession of a NATA-certified laboratory report confirming Condition 3 mould — a serious health hazard.
- Under the Property and Stock Agents Act 2002 (NSW), agents must disclose any fact they know that would be relevant to a buyer's decision to purchase
- Under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL s18, s29), active concealment of a known material defect constitutes misleading and deceptive conduct
- Any future buyer who purchases this property, discovers the mould, and finds that the agent held this report faces a strong legal claim for rescission or damages
The vendor and agent are now on notice.
