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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,380,000 (10 Apr 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 673 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Kensington Gardens (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,521/m² of land (n=43). 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 $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

Listed by OC

From relic to a dream realised; the perfect blank canvas in a special locale

Offers Close, Mon, 15th Apr - 12pm (usp)

Standing on a wide parcel facing a leafy street that connects Kensington Road to The Parade, this tightly-held family home represents a rare chance to take some 680sqm of a blue chip suburb and make it your own, down to the last inch, just a stroll from St Peter's Girl's College and the boundless Kensington Gardens Reserve.

The existing home has its own charming appeal, pure in its originality, spacious by design, and compelling if you're in the mood for a renovation challenge.

Read the full description

The home also turns a blind eye to Brigalow Avenue, directing much of its footprint north to send winter light into its main living zone and a formal room with jarrah floors and regal timber panelled walls.

Its orientation is 'food for thought', inspiring your grand plans to replace a weary relic with something bold, architectural, and truly worthy of its highly sought-after address (STCC).

Zoned for Burnside and Magill Primary Schools, there's every reason to delay the kids' entry to nearby Pembroke School or St Peter's Girls College, giving you the luxury of choice in a suburb with Wattle Park and Erindale shopping precincts on its doorstep.

It's time to build the dream, your way.

- Tightly held family home could be renovated or make way for a brand new build on a generous parcel

- Wide frontage ensures plenty of scope for different designs and styles of home

- Double brick existing home with the potential to re-jig its multiple living zones into additional bedrooms

- Carport and off-street parking for multiple cars

- Functional kitchen

- Established gardens

- Walking distance from public transport

- Less than 15 minutes from the CBD

- And much more.
