Real estate firm reaches financial settlement with family who bought house next to drug rehab centre
The country’s biggest real estate firm has reached a settlement with a young family who unwittingly bought a home next door to a drug and alcohol rehab centre housing recovering addicts and former inmates.
The family sued Harcourts agent Michael Robson and his Mt Eden-based firm Charlton Realty Ltd last year and sought more than $280,000 in damages and costs.
They purchased the home, marketed by Robson as “family perfection”, in early 2014 for $1.325 million
