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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $552,000 (5 July 2020).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 2,050 m² against a 140 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Maldon (last 5 years) with land size: median $531/m² of land (n=79). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

What could make it worth less?

What should you verify next?

  1. 1LAND SUBJECT TO INUNDATION OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 2 affects this parcel — verify the mapped extent against the title / planning certificate before relying on unaffected land.
  2. 2ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 5 affects this parcel — verify the mapped extent against the title / planning certificate before relying on unaffected land.
  3. 3No 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.

Capital growth

VIC

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned FARMING ZONE - SCHEDULE 1 · FZ1 (ZN). Official parcel area about 685,756 m². Dual occupancy looks constrained by site overlays or terrain. Two-lot subdivision looks constrained (often the rear or handle of the lot). 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

85.9% of the official parcel intersects the loaded flood overlay. Layer: LAND SUBJECT TO INUNDATION OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 2. That is a finance, insurance, and rentability screen — distinct from whether the land can be subdivided. It is not a flood certificate or an insurer quote. Flood overlay on a material share of the lot can kill a rear-lot or battleaxe subdivision story. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Official parcel about 685,756 m² — land size can look like optionality. What reduces it: LAND SUBJECT TO INUNDATION OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 2; ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 5. Pay house money or walk — do not pay site money until a planner confirms a pathway through this stack. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $441/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. Flood on or flagged for this lot can discount tenant demand versus a dry comparable.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

This looks more like a hold-as-is house than a development site. Flood on the lot is the first thing to price.

Detail

Official parcel about 685,756 m² — land size can look like optionality. What reduces it: LAND SUBJECT TO INUNDATION OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 2; ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 5. Pay house money or walk — do not pay site money until a planner confirms a pathway through this stack.

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.

4 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned FARMING ZONE - SCHEDULE 1 · FZ1 (ZN). Official parcel area about 685,756 m². Dual occupancy looks constrained by site overlays or terrain. Two-lot subdivision looks constrained (often the rear or handle of the lot). This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

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

  • Why is this cheap?
