Roosters bad boy’s home worries revealed
Roosters NRL enforcer Victor Radley’s plans for the Eastern Suburbs home he helped to renovate aren’t going to plan.
Sydney Roosters enforcer Victor Radley has pulled his Waverley home from sales websites and is now seeking tenants.
The Wallace St address comes with a $2650-a-week asking rental through PPD property management agent Katrina Borg.
Its November marketing campaign came with a $4m-plus guide, with similar expectations last month, with both unsuccessful auction campaigns through R & W agent Jason Boon.
The 25-year-old lock, who has been at the Roosters since making his 2017 NRL debut, paid $2,999,000 for the 1930s home in 2021 before its redesign.
The plans by the premiership-winning carpenter, estimated to cost just under $500,000, involved adding a third level.

Radley has been seeking to buy something more family-friendly with partner, marketing professional Taylah Cratchley. The couple welcomed their first baby, Vinnie Cash Radley, this year.
The rental listing comes amid slim 2024 offerings, with only one other home currently for rent at $2800 a week. Sydney’s east sees its rental vacancy rate at just 0.96 per cent.

PropTrack put Waverley’s asking rental median at a record $1550 a week last month. It was $1300 this time last year, $1275 in 2022, $1100 in 2021 and $1175 in March 2020 as the Covid pandemic took hold.
Surging rents mean renters across Sydney are now facing the worst level of rental affordability in at least 17 years, according to the latest PropTrack Rental Affordability Index.
“With median rents of $750 for a house and $680 for an apartment in Sydney, it is substantially more expensive to rent than elsewhere in the country,” Proptrack economist Angus Moore said
“A household earning the median income in Australia of $111,000 can now afford just 39 per cent of rentals advertised during the six months to December 2023.
“This is, by a reasonable margin, the lowest share since records began in 2008.
“Affordability peaked in 2020-21, when a median-income household could afford 60 per cent of advertised rentals.
“Even relatively high-income households earning around $170,000 a year are facing more challenging rental conditions,” Moore noted.
