Boutique block of units for sale in tightly held Kensington precinct

25 May 2022

A boutique block of units in Kensington is set to go under the hammer providing a rare opportunity for savvy investors.

Colliers’ Trent Gallagher and Angus Urquhart along with Dean Efrossynis and Nicholas Efrossynis of Laing & Simons Kingsford have been appointed to sell the 689sqm site located at 5 Salisbury Road, Kensington on behalf of Mr. Khamo. Agents expect the property to attract circa $8 million.

The property offers nine two-bedroom units, which all come with an allocated car space, storage area and balcony. This is a rare offering that provides any purchaser a stable, low risk asset with long standing tenants and a significant value add opportunity through internal and external renovations whilst improving the current passing rent.

ā€œThe market continues to be starved of stable investment opportunities with investors searching for buildings with strong fundamentals and value add angles,ā€ Mr Urquhart said. ā€œThe rental unit market remains strong in Kensington with the most recent vacancy seeing more than 20 groups come through and being leased within the first weekā€.

ā€œBuyers are looking for stable investments such as this, which will allow them to buy an asset in a blue chip location that will not go down in value. Due to limited supply we predict rents to rise and prices to hold through 2022 throughout most asset classesā€ Added Mr Gallagher.

5 Salisbury Road, Kensington is for sale via Auction on Thursday, 23rd June 2022 at 10:30am (AEST) at Dexus Place, Level 5, 1 Margaret Street, Sydney.
