Is there a list of properties to avoid tied into the Government scheme to fix defects in apartments & duplexes?

Hi All,

Just looking for some advice for a young relative who is searching for a home and hoping to buy in the near future.

They are very aware that there are quite a number of properties built between 1991 and 2013 that have serious defects so they are wondering if tied into the Government scheme if there is a list available anywhere of all these properties to avoid? They have searched Google but cannot find anything readily available.

TIA

Edit- found this after a bit of a search-can't seem to find if the barring order was lifted though

Thanks for the reply. That is disappointing and just increases purchasers worries about what they are buying.

Anyone else have anything to add to this or know if things have changed recently?
