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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,600,000 (20 Apr 2018).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Battery Point (last 5 years) with land size: median $5,155/m² of land (n=13). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

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

TAS

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 $579/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.

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. 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?

    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.

The stand-alone, 4 bedroom 3 bathroom double-brick home has recently received a sophisticated upgrade designed by Maria Gigney Architects, and offers spacious and versatile living zones, with a modern, free-flowing design and a crisp central kitchen. Period characteristics have been retained throughout, including Tas Oak polished floorboards, character fireplaces, high ceilings and leadlight, which combine to create a sense of warmth and charm.

The open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas are bathed in all day sun and showcase large, glass sliding doors, leading out to a courtyard oasis that presents the ideal space for alfresco dining or relaxing in perfect privacy. The spacious, leafy courtyard features mature landscaping that provides colour throughout the seasons, and brings a truly uplifting atmosphere into the home.

The kitchen is near new, with stone bench-tops, soft-close cabinetry and stainless steel Smeg appliances. Internal French doors lead from the hall into the generous dining room, which features a fireplace upgraded with an integrated, efficient combustion heater.

The central bathroom is perfect for the evening wind down, with a skylight and ample glazing illuminating the freestanding stone bathtub. A matching stone basin rests on a solid slab of Tasmanian myrtle timber, alongside the large, frameless glass shower. Under-floor heating and a heated towel rail enhance the luxurious space. A cleverly designed European laundry is concealed behind sliding doors, while the hot water system is as efficient as they come, being a Sanden heat pump system.

Two of the four bedrooms have lavish ensuites, with floor-to-ceiling embossed Italian tiles, frameless glass showers, modern floating vanities and underfloor heating. The master suite includes a walk-in robe and the further two bedrooms are also complete with built-ins. All bedrooms have near new, high quality wool carpet that is warm, soft and luxurious underfoot.

The house is designed to seamlessly cater for separate guest accommodation with its own private and secure entrance, while retaining a fully integrated floor plan. The guest wing has Council approval for use as visitor accommodation, and has provided a very healthy yield.
