What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • FactLand 607 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in West Kempsey (last 5 years) with land size: median $696/m² of land (n=52). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

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?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

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.

Data unavailable

Source

  • Provider: unavailable
  • Dataset: unavailable

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.

Terrain

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.

Capital growth

NSW

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” 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 $472/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

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

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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • 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?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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

    Development applications have not been queried 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.

AMAZING RIVERVIEWS THAT CAN'T BE BUILT OUT – AND WELL OUT OF FLOOD REACH

Opportunity knocks! Living on the river is not like living in town,, especially here! River and rural views and so much scope to add your own dreamy ideas to this very solid, very neat, fresh home. Yes, you can move in and do nothing or overtime you can easily create something so special you will never leave this kind of location.

You will never get sick of looking out at this view - an intimate river and rural view of birds, fish, trees, cows, green grass, old barns and buildings in the distance, and then the mountains. This makes living in town 'not really' like living in town and oh so enjoyable and relaxing.

It never ceases to amaze and delight you, this view - an ever changing spectacular of breathtaking sunsets, skies full of stars, fish jumping in the river, a myriad of bird life (watching the baby ducks paddling like crazy to follow mumma-duck across the big wide river is like a David Attenborough special), but my favourite was just watching the cattle across the river doing their daily routine of waddling past, eating, sleeping, drinking and the crazy little calves when they run and jump and kick and play once they truly discover they have legs - very funny.

And to have this lifestyle and to have a bright, fresh, ready home to move straight into at this price, right near the Kempsey Hospital is simply amazing. And let me also say, that this home was Government built in the day... and they built them extremely well with big hardwood frames and plenty of good solid brick piers on good solid concrete footings - this is one very solid and straight home.

- Flood-free 607sqm block fronting river esplanade.

- Surprisingly large home: 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom home + 1 garage - Excellent hardwood frame, excellent iron roof

- (or use as 3 bedrooms with 2 lounge rooms)

- Spectacular river and rural views

- Fresh paint inside and out

- Brand new carpet and underlay - never lived on!

- Near new reverse cycle air conditioner & ceiling fans

- Walk in pantry

- Internal laundry

- 200m to Hospital, 600m to High School/Tafe

- Great neighbourhood.

The vendor, who is a designer, has kindly offered his 3D plans drawn up of what he thought would be a stunning way to play with this home and create a 4bed/2bath home with a huge deck... available on inspection.

This one is your chance to get on the 'river side' of River Street and lap up the best way to live in town. Call us any day, anytime.
