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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $672,000 (6 Feb 2016).(Recorded sale)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

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. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No 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?

Planning 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” 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 $478/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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • 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?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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

    Development applications have not been queried 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.

Best of Both Worlds

Kavel and Parkin Streets - two of Torrens' 'up and coming' addresses, where properties are hard to come by with existing owners securing benefits from retaining and improving their homes.

Number 2 Kavel Street sits on a large 906m2 corner block and is providing the rare opportunity for you to join the neighbourhood. You will be able to maximise the potential the footprint offers and transform the home from its current original condition to be one of the best in the area.

Approaching the home from its Parkin St entrance; once inside, you will appreciate the sought after north easterly aspect the home provides.

Read the full description

The family's living areas consist of a huge lounge/dining area and separate family room. The kitchen, whilst in original condition, comes well-appointed with gas cooking appliances and an adjoining informal meals area. From here, you can access the rear courtyard area which will provide an ideal outdoor dining option for the warmer Canberra summer months.

Accommodation is provided through three bedrooms, each with a built-in-wardrobe. The updated bathroom with continuous hot water supply and separate toilet offers flexibilty for a growing family.

Adding to the property's appeal and positive characteristics, is the separate self-contained bedsitter including a kitchenette, bathroom and open living area. This feature gives the new owners various options including; supplementary income, accommodation for elderly parents, interstate guests, or a retreat for the teenager or young adult of the family.

Driving in from the Kavel St entrance, park the cars in the double lock up garage behind one of the two roller doors, from there you can enter the rear of the property through the gated arch, into the courtyard area where privacy is assured with the brick wall surround.

Further benefits of this property are the gas heating and, simply, the location of Torrens. Woden is an increasingly desirable area for Canberra families with close proximity to excellent schools, cafes and restaurants, Westfield Shopping Centre and The Canberra Hospital.
