Reserve price has been set at R2.5 million and the property achieves a combined rental of R27 100 per month, she points out.
“If a buy-to-let investor can achieve a price close to the reserve then they will be enjoying a return that is far better than the average for residential property in Cape Town.”
On the same day, a commercial unit measuring 350 square metres on Victoria Road in Woodstock will be auctioned.
According to Jovanovski, the unit currently has one floor, however, the height restriction is set at four floors with a coverage of 100 percent which could be seen as a very tempting investment opportunity for an enterprising individual looking for a property to develop.
It is MU2 (mixed-use) zoned which accommodates a mixture of business. Primary use can be for business or industrial premises, as a boarding house, a place of worship or a place of assembly.
She says the unit has two shops at the front currently tenanted.
The first shop, Telko Flooring sells flooring products and the second is a convenience store and the shops earn rents of R6 500 and R5 500 per month respectively.

In Johannesburg on 9 October, Aucor will hold a multiple property auction at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Rosebank at 12pm.
Properties to be auctioned include prime property located at 64 Bompas Road in Dunkeld.
Sean Parsons, business development executive, says this is rare type of property well-situated in one of Johannesburg north’s most exclusive suburbs.
It lies on a main arterial linking Jan Smuts Avenue to Oxford Road, is 2 974 square metres in extent, with an approximate general building area of 443 square metres and is zoned for Residential 3, which includes the allowance for a maximum of seven residential units to be built.
Currently the property features a double storey three bedroom home which has numerous entertainment areas including a pool, thatch lapa and pizza oven.
Located on Royal Road in Maitland is a property offering six units, all tenanted and up for auction.
Parsons notes that there are proposed upgrades in the area should approvals from all relevant parties and stakeholders be obtained.
These relates specifically to the blocks that are bounded by Cradock Avenue and Oxford, Rosebank and Bompas Roads and this is being done within the project Management District 1D of the Rosebank Urban Development Framework.
He says future plans for the area include re-development to replace what is mostly two-storey buildings with four to six storey buildings that will have greater floor area ratios and coverage.
“The project will involve a crucial upgrading of the roads to improve traffic flows and access as well as significant greening of the area through focused landscaping initiatives,” he says.
Parsons adds that this means that this property is prime in terms of its specific locality and size for developers looking to be part of this potential exciting expansion and re-development initiative.
