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 Public Recreation · RE1 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 538 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. 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: 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 $828/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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Public Recreation · RE1 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 538 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. 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

    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.

As you approach the house, you'll notice the freshly restored and resprayed roof, paired with new garage doors that can be controlled via an app. The brick and tile construction provides classic street appeal, with lovely green grass, established hedges, and gardens framing the home beautifully. A charming front porch is the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a cuppa while watching the world go by.

Step inside through the wide entryway, and you'll immediately feel the fresh vibe of the home, with new aluminium shutters, downlights, and ceiling fans featured throughout. The new carpet and fresh paint add to the sense of renewal and modernity.

To the left, the spacious living room opens through elegant double sliding wooden doors and features a large window overlooking the front yard, filling the room with natural light. The L-shaped layout provides a versatile space, ideal for a home office nook, while the gas bayonet ensures cosy warmth in winter.

The kitchen and dining area is a beautifully integrated space, boasting 40mm benchtops, quality cabinetry, and an LG integrated microwave. The sleek Kleenmaid four-burner electric cooktop and new Westinghouse pyro clean oven make cooking a breeze, while the double sink with mixer tap and plenty of cupboard space ensure practicality. Large shutters open to reveal lovely views of the yard, bringing the outdoors in.

You will find a walk-in robe and a completely renovated ensuite with a frameless glass shower with a niche, matte black hardware, a floating vanity with a 20mm stone benchtop and gleaming floor to ceiling tiles.

The family bedrooms are equally impressive, all with newly updated mirrored wardrobes, carpet, ceiling fans, and shutters, two of them even have outdoor roller blinds. These rooms are serviced by the main family bathroom which includes a shower, a built in bathtub and a separate WC.

Downstairs, the rumpus room provides an ideal space for a teenage retreat, home gym, or games room. With tiled floors, sheer curtains, and direct access to the patio and pool area, it's a versatile spot for entertaining or simply relaxing. The convenience of a separate WC and laundry add to the functionality.

Outside, the undercover alfresco area overlooks the huge concrete pool, complete with a rock water feature and a new deck and fence. You'll love the Elluminate automated pool lighting, easily controlled by an app for endless summer fun.

The grassed backyard offers plenty of space to play, and a gate leads directly to the council reserve, ensuring privacy and beautiful treetop views.
