Wild Poppies Collapse Leaves Properties Unsold | Auckland News

Two of Kerry Bradburn’s coastal Auckland properties—Manly’s Tiri Road home and Stanmore Bay’s unfinished Duncansby Road build—went to mortgagee sale with zero bids, despite auctioneer hype and prior interest. The collapse of her company, Wild Poppies, which she sold to her son before liquidation, left creditors $1.3 million short, fueling suspicion. Though Bradburn insists the property sales are unrelated, the Tiri Road home’s post-Cyclone Gabrielle cliff slip (now fixed) and two collapsed deals—one for $2.5M—may have deterred buyers. Both properties, tied to the same lender and valued at $3.85M combined, highlight how even prime real estate can stall in a tough market.
