The Auckland real estate agent holding this deceased estate listing admits “it’s not about the house”, because the house, which has not been lived in for years, is not the drawcard. The real value of “the worst house in the best street” lies in its Torbay clifftop location, and that is likely to see the property fetch millions. Mangnall sold a similar property on the clifftop in Campbells Bay earlier this year. Again, it was a “worst house, best street” scenario – a house that had been in the same family for 106 years. “The feedback I am getting for this [Torbay] site, is that it would best suit one big dwelling,” Mangnall said.
