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

Why this property?

  • CalculationLand 1,170 m² against a 233 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Kensington Park (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,561/m² of land (n=29). 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 $632/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

Villa ripe for renovation or removal, in delightfully prestigious locale

Occupying a grand position on the high side of the street, and espousing the perfect family lifestyle, with proximity to prestigious Eastern suburbs schools and a handy commute of just 10 minutes into Adelaide's CBD, this much loved family home (a Return Verandah Villa c 1910)has been held proudly by the current owner, for close to 50 years.

Villas are traditionally the most popular style of character homes in Adelaide, and combine this with the impressive landholding of 1,170sqm (approx), and here is one genuinely rare offering which is bound to be received with a great sense of urgency and excitement by an astute market.

This beautiful old lady has stood the test of time, but oh yes, she needs some love and care now, and some hard work to bring her up to a level befitting the address and surrounds.

Read the full description

Good bones? Outstanding! With a central hallway, and 3 large bedrooms branching from it, it's a universally popular design. The return verandah adds a grandiose flourish, and the beautiful formal dining room is a nod to times past…if only the walls could talk!

Showcasing a number of revered character features such as original fireplace surrounds, lead light and pressed metal ceilings (in the master bedroom and formal lounge), are you up for the challenge which presents itself?

You'll also find a functional kitchen and bathroom, and a second toilet. An expansive sunroom at the rear houses a laundry, separate study area, and plenty of storage room.

Of course, maybe this is your dream location but not your dream home.

What a superb landholding of 1,170sqm (approx), with an appealing frontage of around 21.34m (approx)- the perfect site for your dream home or investment opportunity (STCC).

A stone's throw from Pembroke School, and zoned for Norwood Morialta High School, with Marryatville Shopping Centre, and Norwood Parade close by.

It's rare, for sure....if you find the hen, tell it we've found it's tooth.
