No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: Australian Capital Territory schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Downer's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
ACTPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $420/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. 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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 1.4%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
Verdict
Districts view
Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.
Detail
The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”
Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.
The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.
Evidence
Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

Listing material
Listed by HOME.BYHOLLYGarden paths meander past established walls of green, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and connection to nature. In the backyard, outdoor dining sits alongside mature callistemons, while a grove of campsis shields the clothesline. At the front, high courtyard walls enclose the north-westerly deck, with pink and white camellias and a lime-green hedge leading towards the double garage.
There is a welcoming Mediterranean feel to this renovated and twice-extended home, expressed through bagged white walls, warm red brick detailing and custom-made black steel gates. Inside, four peaceful bedrooms, multiple living spaces and a generous separate study provide room for work, gathering and retreat. It is a relaxed union of history, modern comfort, family flexibility and natural integration.
Timber floors glow in the sunshine, while large timber-framed windows and French doors with Phantom insect screens maintain a continual connection with the gardens. The combined front living and dining area faces due north and opens to the private north-westerly deck. A magnificent liquid amber provides cooling summer shade while allowing warming light through in the colder months.
Morning light fills the kitchen, where a wide window frames the delicate fronds of a tree fern. Granite worktops introduce a blush of pink, while a servery connects with the dining area. A generous corner pantry provides excellent storage, and the adjoining family room and study nook have an easy, open feel.
Two separate extensions honour the character of the original cottage with high ceilings, timber floors and joinery. A generous study/second living area opens outdoors and connects to the privately positioned master suite. French doors with Phantom insect screens flow from the bedroom to an intimate timber porch and serene garden outlook. Beyond, a paved alfresco dining area is sheltered by a large remote-controlled electric sun awning.
Three additional bedrooms have built-in robes and leafy outlooks. Bedroom four opens directly to the front deck and courtyard, making it ideal for an older child, intergenerational living or guests. The spacious family bathroom is finished in simple grey floor-to-ceiling tiles, with a walk-in shower, clever storage, sculptural basin and seamless European laundry.
Offered for the first time in over 40 years, the home enjoys a prized inner-north position on a quiet street beneath a leafy canopy of established Linden trees. Parks, schools and local shops are close by, including Downer playing fields, Melba Street Park and Downer Micro-Forest. Dickson and Braddon are within easy reach, while nearby Downer shops are home to Gang Gang Café and Bar. Bus stops, light rail and easy access to the CBD complete an exceptionally connected lifestyle.

Why is this cheap?
UnknownThe constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.
Lot-level flood
UnknownOfficial flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

This lot's DA history
