Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $620,000 (14 Mar 2025).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 645 m² against a 113 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Beresfield (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,171/m² of land (n=106). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

What could make it worth less?

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

What should you verify next?

No verification items generated for this record.

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 Low Density Residential · R2 (Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012). Official parcel area about 638 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 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 $615/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

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

This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.

Detail

Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012). Official parcel area about 638 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.

Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.

Evidence

What is known for this property

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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012). Official parcel area about 638 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 638 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
