What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $890,000 (15 July 2017).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 652 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Malvern (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,932/m² of land (n=36). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

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?

Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” 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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • 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?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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

    Development applications have not been queried 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.

Listing material

Listed by Harris Real Estate Kent Town

Malvern colonial red brick home to suit all families

This Colonial bay window classic offers originality seeking a fresh family perspective in quiet, cul-de-sac surrounds. Well cared for yet ready for reinvention, the potential stretches far beyond its four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and separate outdoor studio.

And further than its admired location amongst quality homes, Concordia College, Highgate Primary, Unley High School and Unley Primary.

With its expansive layout comes valuable versatility - dual accommodation, home office, live-in student options, and/or rental potential. The self-contained studio provides private access via the single, lock up driveway.

Read the full description

Or of course, your plans to start over on this 650sqm (approx.) allotment are subject to the usual council consents.

The main home consists of a front master bedroom, living room, and formal dining room. A family kitchen adjoining the casual dining room, and two hallways each with linen storage. Bedroom accommodation and a utility room (ideal for cellaring or collectables) stride the eastern edge of the home, and wet areas face the rear.

Capturing a touch of vintage is the decorative glass wall dividers, ornate mantel in the living room, and the very Deco vanity in the original bathroom.

But the most endearing feature is the north-facing light gracing the front of the home and its opposing south-facing rear cottage style garden.

Outdoors, the carpeted studio features kitchen cabinetry, heating, a duo of large windows and glass sliding door access, resulting in naturally illuminated flexible space with two storerooms to the rear.

Malvern answers the call to character, class and convenience only the inner south can boast; Duthy Street gourmet, Highgate Village, and Unley and King William Road's high-end food and fashion.

Whatever your plans, be they bespoke or boutique, you can bet they begin here.

We love:

- Dual accommodation or rental potential

- The scope to renovate or rebuild (STCC)

- 2.7m ceiling height to main house

- 4 bedrooms (3 with built-ins)

- 2nd utility storage / collectable corner or cellar

- Braemar 4 zone ducted evaporative air conditioning

- Ducted gas heating

- Rear self-contained studio with 2 storerooms

- Easy walk to Concordia College, Highgate Primary and The Lady George Kindergarten

- Close to Unley High and Unley Primary Schools
