What could make it worth more?

  • FactZoned RZ1 (RZ1) under the SCULLIN.(ACTmapi · 31 Aug 2026)

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. 1No 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

ACT

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned RZ1 (SCULLIN). Official parcel area about 738 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. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $390/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. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. 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

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 RZ1 (SCULLIN). Official parcel area about 738 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

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • 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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.

  • 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 738 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

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

A gorgeous renovation has created sleek modern spaces that lend an elegant minimal air, complementing the open, airy feel of this classic Canberra cottage. Large picture windows capture light and gift a strong visual connection to landscape on both sides. There is a wonderful indoor/outdoor drift as glass sliders open to sheltered deck and gardens.

This beautiful three-bedroom home is ideally positioned, close to several parks, just a leafy walk or bike-ride away from Scullin shops, home to the fabulous Sweet Bones Bakery and Café. Whisper quiet yet super close to the dynamic Belconnen shopping and entertainment precinct, handy to the CBD, the locale is highly coveted.

Read the full description

The stunning blonde brick form sits pretty behind soft lawns and pink flowering rose bushes. A long driveway provides plenty of off-street parking and there is gated access to a garage that sits well back on the site.

A small entry foyer gives way to a large, combined dining and living arena. Lush garden scenery seems to enter the room as the eye is drawn to a wall of windows. Easy-care timber laminate flooring flows underfoot and the soft palette of white on white, with threads of timber, nods to the native bush capital surrounds. A simple merge from dining room to shady outdoor deck makes communing alfresco an integral part of the warmer months.

There is a nice open link to the kitchen, where a neat row of large windows connects with the garden frontage, filling the space with light. The use of organic stone bench tops, banks of white cabinetry and pop of timber shelving, gifts a soothing minimal flair. The splashback captures the eye with its soft blue and grey marbling, while efficient stainless-steel appliances take care of business. There is a breakfast bar with plenty of room for the kids to gather.

Think precious time with family and friends, a relaxing glass of wine, chatting while you cook the dinner.

Three peaceful bedrooms benefit from large windows that provide leafy views, while mirrored built-in-cabinetry assures seamless storage. The second bedroom has a lovely nook for a study desk, ideal for homework.

A crisp white freestanding tub floats on soft grey floor to ceiling tiling. Pops of jet black add contemporary drama and coalesce with the softness of the oak vanity. We love the under cabinet lighting that imbues this gorgeous wet room, complete with rain shower, with a moody romance.

The large deck connects the whole family with nature and takes in views of the easy-care paving merging with soft lawns. Green walls privatise and enclose, while set back in one corner of the generous rear gardens, is a relaxing outdoor room.

Timber decking marries with timber baton work to semi-enclose this additional social space. Think lounging with a great book under the ceiling fan on lazy Sundays or celebrating into the night with friends.

Scullin is a well-positioned family friendly suburb, surrounded by green spaces, bordering Brindabella National Park, The Pinnacle, Mount Painter, and Lake Ginninderra. Scullin shops are close to hand with local favourites including - Sue's Kitchen for great Chinese and Rock Salt Restaurant or Sweet Bones Bakery and Cafe for relaxed dining. The dynamic and evolving Belconnen precinct is a few minutes away with its myriad of dining and shopping options, including the Fresh Food Markets, currently undergoing an exciting refurb. The home is close to transport and a choice of schools. The Arboretum, GIO Stadium, AIS, the UC are all nearby. And the home is a mere 15 minutes to the CBD by car.
