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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $762,045 (17 June 2022).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 700 m² against a 103 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Dover Gardens (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,129/m² of land (n=77). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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 $622/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.

Read the full description

To the right of the entry, you will find the two bedrooms. The master bedroom is complimented by two, front-facing picture windows – allowing natural light to fill the space, a built-in robe and ceiling fan. The bathroom is in close proximity to the two bedrooms for total functionality.

To the left of the entry we find the formal living area which is complete with a large window that overlooks the front gardens, and the room is serviced by a gas heater for comfort during the colder seasons. Adjacent, the formal dining room is the ideal place for hosting friends and family and will comfortably fit a large dining setting.

Continuing through the home we find the kitchen/meals area. The kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop and oven, as well as ample bench, cupboard and drawer space. There is also access to the outdoor entertaining space via the laundry which makes it helpful when hosting.

Like the inside of the home, the outside is equally as impressive. The front of the home presents beautifully, with perfectly manicured gardens and there is a delightful courtyard to the front of the home where you may enjoy your morning coffee or tea.

A carport behind a gate provides a safe, undercover place to store your car, as well as drive-through access leads you to garage. The garage can be utilised as a storage place for your prized possessions or the savvy handyman's workshop.

For those with a green thumb, there is plenty of shrubbery & tree's to enjoy and for safe storage of your tools & equipment, there is a small garden shed.

In terms of location, this home is in prime position. In close proximity to a number of quality schools including Brighton Secondary School, Paringa Primary School and Seaview High School. Shopping precincts are only a short drive including Marion Shopping Centre, Brighton Central, and so much more. For those who love dining, Jetty Road Brighton & Jetty Road Glenelg are a breeze to get to and a few minutes will have you at some of Adelaide's best beaches. Should you require the use of public transport, a 4 minutes drive will land you at Oaklands or Brighton Train Station and the Marion Bus Interchange can take you to multiple locations. Southern living doesn't get much better than this.
