A real estate agent accidentally burned a multi-million dollar property to the ground while preparing for an open house, with her employer ordered to pay more than $850,000 in damages.
Sydney real estate agent Julie Bundock was preparing for an open house at a four-bed home on Sydney’s northern beaches when she noticed the current renters of the house had left some bedding on the deck to dry.
She removed the sheets and threw them in a downstairs room onto a shelf below a light, which she then switched on.
About 20 minutes later a major fire broke out in the four-bedroom house on Riverview Road in Avalon Beach, believed to be caused by the shelf and bedding heating up and catching fire due to the wall-mounted light.
