Districts View
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.

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
ACTPlanning 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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $367/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. 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.
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
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 HOME.BYHOLLY#soldbyholly
A charming Canberra red, double brick cottage is awaiting those who want to downsize or just starting out with a young family. Situated at the city end of Duffy Street, and an easy 20 minute walk into the city or a 10min walk to either the Ainslie shops or nearby schools. Nestled at the foothills of Mount Ainslie with a 100m walk to the bush tracks of the mountain allows easy access for hiking, walking the dog or mountain biking.
The cottage was originally constructed in 1953, with an additional extension added in 1959 by the McDonald family. Mr.McDonald was teaching Certificate in Building and Construction at CIT at the time and completed the extension as an owner-builder. The extension included a concreted, secure below level storage area, which once served as the armoury for the Canberra National Pistol Club.
The house was sold in 2003 to a young family. The parents would kiss their children goodnight and comment to them that they had "the best view in Canberra" as they all gazed out the rear bedrooms with views to Telstra Tower flashing colourfully upon Black Mountain. A thoughtful renovation was completed in 2012, maintaining all the vintage characteristics of the original cottage including 9ft ceilings, art deco electrical switches and lights, a deep bathtub, retro style tap ware and olde English style tiling.
With three bedrooms, two quite generous and the smaller third room has a clever built-in robe design creating a more spacious feel. The master bedroom has a walk-in robe area that leads to a large modern ensuite.
The updated country style kitchen has plenty of cupboard and bench space to suit any family chefs at hand. The inviting living area with an enclosed wood fireplace flows through to the dining and kitchen area to suit open style family living. The orientation of the house means the north sun warms these areas, making the perfect place to sit by in winter and warm oneself behind the large timber sash windows.
Future owners will love entertaining family and friends with a large sliding door and servery window opening to a massive deck and pergola from the kitchen. Ideal for those long Christmas lunches or summer evenings by the BBQ, watching the sunset over Black Mountain.
The gardens are immaculate and feature several areas to sit down to relax and enjoy the privacy and serenity as birds chirp away merrily nearby.
The rear garden area has a large courtyard, ideal for sitting by a firepit in winter. There is also a large chicken coup and pen, a sandpit and a vegetable garden to keep children or adults busily entertained.

Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis 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
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
UnknownThe constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.
Lot-level flood
UnknownOfficial flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
Catalyst exposure
UnknownFunded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
This lot's DA history
UnknownDevelopment applications have not been queried for this parcel.
Statutory land value versus ask
UnknownStatutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.
Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNet yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
