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

NSW

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Village · RU5 (Lismore Local Environmental Plan 2012). Official parcel area about 767 m². Dual occupancy looks constrained by site overlays or terrain. Two-lot subdivision looks unlikely on the loaded constraints. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: medium

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Heritage constraint may block demolition or dual occupancy even on a large block. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Official parcel about 767 m² — land size can look like optionality. What reduces it: Conservation Area - General. Heritage can block demolition and dual occupancy even when land size looks like a site. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $532/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. Heritage constraints are a maintenance and alteration cost, not usually a rent premium by themselves.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Loaded constraints look like they kill a naive land-size story. Pay house money, or walk, until a planner confirms a pathway.

Detail

Official parcel about 767 m² — land size can look like optionality. What reduces it: Conservation Area - General. Heritage can block demolition and dual occupancy even when land size looks like a site.

What is known for this property

Unique & Convenient – Big Corner Block

Don’t miss out on this centrally located and convenient property that provides many different opportunities! 300 metre walking distance of the centre of Village of Nimbin with its boutique shopping and café culture, Number One is known for its unique land-shape which gives the lovely old Art Deco home a commanding position overlooking the park yet with total privacy from neighbours.

For investors, this property presents a strong rental opportunity on a substantial 765m² block. The slightly wedge-shaped allotment has the home positioned toward the narrower end, leaving a large, practical backyard. The flat rear yard enjoys dual street access from Thorburn Street and Sibley Street, with two vehicle-entry gates providing excellent accessibility. Fully fenced and bordered by mature trees and established side gardens, it offers a secure and spacious area ideal for children and pets, with plenty of room for future potential.

For the home owner this is a perfectly positioned 3 bedroom 2 bathroom dwelling built in the 1930’s. Although not an ornate example of its era, there are many original features including hardwood timber floors and high ceilings, original casement windows, and ‘skirt’ boarding with modest wrought iron work on the front verandah. There is a basic but functional open plan kitchen/dining/living area, two larger bedrooms and a sleepout/3rd bedroom with a functional enclosed verandah space.
