Kensington is one of Melbourne’s most tightly contested inner suburbs — a compact pocket just 3km from the CBD with excellent cafes, parks, schools and a loyal community that rarely sells. When a property does come up in Kensington, competition is fierce and the stakes are high. A Collings Property Advisor gives you independent expert guidance for $4,500 + GST.
The Problem With Buying or Selling in Kensington Without Advice
Kensington’s limited supply means prices can be pushed well above market value in auction conditions. Buyers without a clear strategy and ceiling regularly pay 10-15% more than comparable sales would suggest. Sellers without independent advice often choose agents based on the highest appraisal rather than the best campaign strategy — and end up disappointed.
