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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,565,000 (28 June 2021).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Kensington (last 5 years) with land size: median $3,972/m² of land (n=14). 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 $590/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.

Say Hello to Sunlit Sandstone Style with a Ticket to The Parade…

This family-worthy character Bungalow, with its immaculate garden and glazed

pavilion, is set in a quiet tree lined street and only minutes to The Parade, Burnside

Village, The Kensi and Robin Hood iconic hotels, Burnside Hospital, Borthwick Park and only three kilometres to the city.

Read the full description

Close by you will find numerous schools including Mary McKillop College, St.

Joseph's Memorial, St. Ignatius, Pembroke, Loreto and Marryatville High and Primary, all set in under a kilometre of this priceless residence.

It all begins with an immense 4-bedroom home featuring c1920s sandstone façade flowing through to its north-facing and detached sundrenched pavilion.

What you get in between are polished timber floors, vanilla cream décor, subtle

leadlight, ceiling roses, sash windows and open light-filled living that begins with a

wide central hallway.

The front formal sitting room with feature fireplace, each of the bedrooms, the study with inbuilt desk and adjoining spare room all open via double doors further confirming the homes vast open plan feel.

Front to back, it is flawless!

The timeless kitchen merges a stone-topped island with the dining area and family

zone. The stainless steel 5-burner gas stove, caterer-equipped oven, Bosch rangehood, Miele dishwasher and corner pantry will put a smile on any cook's face.

The family room's French doors entice you into the back garden where hedging,

sandstone retaining walls, paving and landscaping all present without a detail out of place.

The sunroom, tiled and air-conditioned, captures the sun through its full height

glazing and northern aspect. Folding stacker doors, alfresco terrace and manicured rear lawn is an entertainer's delight.

It is sophisticated perfection!

With such floorplan versatility comes two enduring bathrooms, the main given two-way access to the master bedroom and the second bathroom a valuable extra off the functional laundry.
