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

Why this property?

  • CalculationLand 2,023 m² against a 101 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Murrumbateman (last 5 years) with land size: median $593/m² of land (n=15). 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.
  • FactZoned Village (RU5) under the Yass Valley Local Environmental Plan 2013.(NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer · 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?

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.

Heritage

Not detected — official

The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.

Capital growth

NSW

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Village · RU5 (Yass Valley Local Environmental Plan 2013). Official parcel area about 2,028 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 $860/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 Village · RU5 (Yass Valley Local Environmental Plan 2013). Official parcel area about 2,028 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

    Official parcel about 2,028 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

    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.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What can the settlement period be? A: The owners can accommodate a settlement period of up to 120 days ideally but are open to longer if needed.

Q: Is there anything wrong with the property? A: ACT Property Inspections completed their report and have said that it is above average (please see a copy of this in the info pack).

Q: Can the new owner move in under-occupancy? A: Yes, occupancy under license prior to settlement can be agreed to from 7 days post-exchange. This will allow the current owner to move out in time. A weekly occupancy fee can be negotiated, providing a smooth transition for the new owner.

Q: Can the furniture be purchased? A: Yes, the furniture can be purchased.

Q: Is everything approved on the property? A: No, the home doesn't have a final certificate, nor does the shed.

Q: Can the property be sold prior to Auction? A: Due to the situation of the owner and his financiers, the property cannot be sold prior to Auction. It needs to be transacted via a Public Auction, ensuring transparency and fairness in the sale process.

Q: Can I exchange the contract with a 5% deposit or deposit bond? A: Yes, a 5% deposit or deposit bond is accepted.

Q: What is the asking price for the property and are the owners negotiable? A: Due to the circumstances, the owner needs to sell and wants the market to determine the value. As a guide, consider these recent comparable sales:

• 1 Middle Street, Murrumbateman, sold on 15/04/24 for $1,500,000 (3 bed, 2 bath on 1,985m²)

• 35 West Street, Murrumbateman, sold on 14/02/24 for $1,050,000 (4 bed, 2 bath on 1,082m², 500m from 17 West St)

• 18 Camp Street, Murrumbateman, sold on 24/05/24 for $854,050 (3 bed, 2 bath on 1,011m2, 300m from 17 West St)

Q: What would the property rent for on a short-term and long-term basis? A: The owner has had the property listed on Airbnb and has been getting $150 per night with it being a single bedroom, no garage, minimum 2-night stay. Long-term, our team has assessed the property to be worth $690 to $760 per week. (please see a copy of this in the info pack)

Q: What does it mean to have Crown Road to the rear of the property? A: The property backs onto an easement lane which used to serve as a 'night cart lane' for the collection of storage back in the day. This is now where the easement for the town sewage runs. Many people use it for extra storage or a chook run.

Q: Why are they selling? A: The owner needs to release equity in this property due to numerous factors, hence why his dreams for the property need to be passed onto the next owner, unfortunately.

Q: What does an agent's interest mean? A: This is a legal requirement when an agent is representing a property they have a link to. 17 West St is owned by the director of Ray White Rural Canberra | Yass | Murrumbateman. He is not involved with the sale as a listing agent, ensuring 100% transparency.

• Yass Valley Council Rates: $787 per quarter.
