Have the new legislation and cladding check done anything for the new apartments?

Surely something must have been achieved by them right?

My options are new apartments whose best foot forward from the real estate agents seem to be that 'we successfully sued the builder two years ago and got things fixed' (it's fucked).
Or South facing older brick apartments on the highest floor with zero insulation but the 'rooms are bigger' and I'm not sure which is worse.

Been looking for months. I just want to get this over and done with so I can stop paying for and reading strata reports but literally nothing pulls my heartstrings.

I am even put off by units in nice 'premium suburb' like Lane Cove that all my family and friends are saying is amazing and I should definitely buy, so it's clearly something wrong with me.

Have yet to see an apartment in Sydney that doesn't have some issue with water ingress. ChatGPT claims that there are higher standards in Brisbane, any truth to this?

There certainly seems to be less complaints about Brisbane apartments compared to Sydney's here.

First home buyer sick of Sydney and thinking of moving to Adelaide or Perth. Booked a couple flights in coming weeks and already faced with the reality of the cost and limitations.

I had a friend who entrusted everything to a broker who had ties to a builder in another state but that seems a little extreme for me.
