The abandoned ex-christchurch weapons store is for sale for $ 250,000

The former Worcester St arms arms repair store was damaged in the 2011 earthquake and was the subject of complaints, Oneroof reported.

It is full of garbage, spotted with graphite and infested with rats, while the 506 m² narrow site is covered with weeds.

The property was headlines last month after Thing They reported that the neighbors wanted the abandoned building to be.

Mattresses scattered on the floor inside suggested that the squatters were living there.

High Papoula listing agent Lena Butler said Oneroof She is inviting the buyer’s inquiry over $ 250,000 – above the $ 220,000 property RV.

Butler told Oneroof She was already working on the listing when the Stuff article pushed the building to the spotlight.

The city council pressed the owners to clean it, which required them to remove the garbage from the building and clean the vegetation until March 31.

Butler told Oneroof She understood that the owners had received relief after telling the board that they were selling the property.

She says the property “How is it” is an opportunity for investment and development.

“He has so many potential uses.

“It’s so close to [new Christchurch] stadium.

“The area began to attract more buildings, more houses and more apartments.”

Suppliers managed their building repair business for several years before the earthquake took place on February 22, 2011, leaving -the unusable and a target for the thieves.

“After the earthquakes, people entered and stole anything of value, including a large firearm in front of the building,” Butler told Oneroof.

The head of regulatory compliance with the city council told Weston Oneroof He has received six complaints about the building since 2018, including one about Vermin.

Weston told Oneroof The building had been evaluated several times for demolition, but had not reached the threshold.
