No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
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: New South Wales schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Based on the low end of the asking range, not a contract price.
Pre-filled with Cessnock'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
NSWPlanning 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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $550/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. 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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.9%. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
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 LJ Hooker CessnockCalling all savvy investors and developers. This is the kind of opportunity that doesn’t come along often in Cessnock’s tightly held property market.
Positioned on a commanding 809m² corner block and zoned R3 Medium Density, 14 Ercildoune Street presents genuine dual potential: hold and rent the existing home for immediate income, or explore subdivision subject to Council approval to unlock even greater long-term value (STCA). With Cessnock’s growth corridor continuing to attract buyers and renters alike, blocks of this size and zoning in this location are becoming increasingly hard to find.
The existing three bedroom cavity brick and tile home offers a blank canvas to work with. While the property is in need of some repair, this is exactly where the opportunity lies; a chance to add value, renovate to rent, or reposition the site entirely as part of a future development play. For the investor with vision, this is a blank canvas backed by land content that speaks for itself.
Corner blocks of this calibre, sitting on R3 medium density zones land, are the type of holding that seasoned investors actively seek out. Whether you’re looking to bank land for the future, add to your portfolio, or start planning your next project, 14 Ercildoune Street ticks the boxes.
Quick facts:
• 809m² corner block excellent street frontage and access
• Zoned R3 Medium Density subdivision potential subject to Council approval (STCA)
• Three bedroom home of cavity brick and tile construction plus home office
• Solid bones with scope to renovate, rent, or redevelop
• Corner position offering flexibility for future site configuration
• Located in one of Cessnock’s sought-after residential pockets
• Ideal for investors, developers or those seeking a value-add project
Opportunities like this with genuine land content, flexible zoning and a corner position simply don’t sit on the market for long.
Whether your strategy is buy-and-hold, renovate-and-rent, or subdivide-and-build, this is a site worth serious consideration.
Don’t let this one slip through your fingers. Contact Bryce Gibson 0422227668 today at LJ Hooker Cessnock 02 40506000 to arrange your inspection and start planning your next move.
