Bruce Begnell is 80, legally blind and deeply distressed that his home was sold on Saturday.
He is one of five families who are refusing to vacate houses on Welfare Street and Flemington Road in Homebush after a property development group sold the block for double what it bought it from the state government for just six months ago.
The residential block was purchased from the Sydney Park Olympic Authority in June for $5.8 million. The houses were sold to individual buyers for a total of $10.5 million at auction on Saturday.
Bruce and Lyn Begnell, as well as neighbour John Higgins, 66, believe that they own their houses on Welfare Street.
"My husband bought his home in 1966 and paid it off in 1984," Mrs Begnell told Fairfax Media.
"He is 80 years old and legally blind so if we moved to a new home, he'd be disoriented. He is not a well man and this is depressing him even more."
Documents obtained by Fairfax Media show Mr Higgins and the Begnells signed an ongoing lease agreement for the houses on Welfare Street in the 1960s.
The Begnells' neighbours, Gerald and Grace Donnelly, and two other tenants, are standing by the contract for the latest saleand a letter from previous owner SOPA obtained by Fairfax Media, both of which specified the existing tenancy agreements were part of the sale.
"Importantly, SOPA does not intend to end any existing tenancy arrangements and does not intend to offer vacant possession of the properties should a successfully tenderer be selected," a letter from the organisation sent in April 2014 reads.
Despite SOPA's assurances, the 12 families on the block were sent tenancy termination notices in November by Strathfield Partners, which gave them 30 days to move out.
Seven families relocated but five remain. Representatives from each attended the auction on Saturday, which dissolved into a shouting match to which the police were called.
Some of the remaining families, including the Begnells and the Donnellys, have launched legal action contesting the sale.
The Begnells and Mr Higgins intend to contest the ownership of the houses, while others including the Donnellys will argue they are protected tenants and cannot be evicted.
Selling agents Strathfield Partners is managing the sale and the tenants. Managing director Robert Pignataro told Fairfax Media the relationship between the two was the lever Strathfield Partners used to double the investment of the properties so swiftly.
"When the property was bought in June, other potential buyers saw a problem with the proscribed tenants. The market didn't see the issue in the end either," Mr Pignataro said.
While some of the new buyers had paid up to $200,000 above the reserve price, Mr Pignataro said the five houses that are still occupied sold for about $100,000 less than the vacant ones.
Property manager John Karas told Fairfax Media no one had been evicted but declined to go into details about the incoming legal battles.
"We haven't presented the remaining ones with any position at all. All I know is that we're going to try and negotiate with them," Mr Karas said.
A spokesman for the Sydney Olympic Park Authority told Fairfax Media they had handed over all responsibility for the property after the sale and had "no interest whatsoever" in the fate of tenants the government agency managed from 1989 until June this year. |
