Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Capital growth

SA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: low

Zoned Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 153 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $602/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.

Detail

The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”

Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.

The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.

Evidence

What is known for this property

Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownlow

    Zoned Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 153 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownmedium

    No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Open the Door to a Walk-Everywhere Cottage Between Two Cosmopolitan Gems

Auction Wed, 24th Jun - 5pm (USP)

A short stroll from King William and Unley Roads, this C1880 bluestone corner cottage comes with a walk-everywhere, cosmopolitan lifestyle the rest of us can only dream of; and does it without asking for much of you in return.

Its strong bones, periodic updates, nifty rear extension, side-road carport access, quaint timber-decked patio and modern creature comforts make this immaculate two-bedroom home the timeless finished article on a plot that makes the marathon gardening sessions a thing of the past. Just step out and get busy living instead.

Read the full description

Open the Door To:

⁃ A c1880 Torrens Titled bluestone corner cottage standing proud on the Hughes Street and Palmerston Place corner

⁃ Two double bedrooms with plantation shutters, plush dark carpet, large fabric light fittings and a front bedroom outlook across surrounding character cottages

⁃ An arched hallway offering a classic cottage arrival and ready-made wall space for artwork

⁃ A central lounge that separates the bedrooms from the rear living zone

⁃ A neat rear extension combining kitchen and dining, with north-facing light, cherry-toned timber-look floors and French doors to the deck

⁃ A well-appointed kitchen with high-gloss white cabinetry, polished black granite benchtops, pantry storage, stainless steel appliances, gas cooktop, dishwasher and under-sink water filter

⁃ A private timber-decked courtyard with shade sail and citrus trees

⁃ A bright bathroom with floor-to-ceiling polished white tiles, grey-toned porcelain floor tiles, rainfall shower, glass screen and pedestal basin

⁃ Secure side-road vehicle access from Palmerston Place to a lock-up carport with roller door

⁃ Reverse-cycle air conditioning

⁃ A compact 109sqm total footprint that makes sense for busy professionals, downsizers, city-fringe buyers or investors wanting character without the upkeep

Unley does the rest. From this corner cottage, King William Road, Unley Road, Unley Shopping Centre, Charles Walk, buses, bike paths, tram links and parklands create the kind of daily radius that makes sense for professionals, downsizers and city-fringe buyers who want character, connection and very little to maintain. You've made it.
