Derelict house with collapsed ceilings and floors sells for $1.6m

Its ceilings have collapsed, the floor has fallen through and the backyard is strewn with junk.

But in Surry Hills, where a 150-square-metre block is prime real estate, that was not enough to stop a buyer forking out $1.6 million on the derelict terrace.

The dilapidated property at 43 Waterloo Street – once home to a hoarder – sold on Tuesday morning after less than a week on the market.
