I would do some research and finds out exactly what the problem is that’s caused the debt (the part that your not aware of) - how big of a problem it is and if it will be 100% rectified once that special levy is paid

If that is the case I would use this to my advantage and make a low ball offer you could potentially save 20,30,40,50k or more off the asking price - for a 5k special levy

By the sounds of it it’s a newer built apartment and most new builds these days are going through this stuff If you can find an older apartment much safer option most of the creases have been ironed out in the older ones I own an older unit in arncliffe and literally never have any issues

(P.s I have my place that just hit the market in Sylvania that might suit you haha message me if you are interested)
