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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 827 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Heidelberg Heights (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,826/m² of land (n=38). 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

VIC

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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $488/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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.

Listing material

Landmark Corner Potential Opposite Parkland

SOLD by Miles Real Estate. Directly opposite and overlooking parkland in Heidelberg Heights' best position is an opportunity spanning 827m2 (approx) on the corner of Alfred Street that is singularly stunning or, in tandem with adjoining 25 James Street to be sold separately, collectively breathtaking.

This semi-detached three bedroom home is well-maintained and completely comfortable yet set against a backdrop of expansive corner garden and uninterrupted views to James Reserve offers substantial space to explore all options that include a massive redevelopment site of a combined side-by-side 1519m2 (approx).

As it stands, this light-filled red brick home is immediately inviting and while now it is ideal for relaxed single-level living, it offers remarkable scope for a contemporary transformation whether it be a brilliant renovation/extension, a beautiful new family residence or luxury townhouses on the park (STCA).

Read the full description

Currently includes a generous living room along with two bedrooms that are all north-facing with parkland vistas, a third bedroom, central bathroom, a kitchen and meals area with a dishwasher, laundry, second toilet, polished hardwood floorboards, a lock-up double garage via Alfred Street, and a vast rear garden that families, tradies, caravaners, kids and pets will absolutely love.

Located in the much-preferred lower residential pocket near the border of Ivanhoe, this mid-century classic is perfectly poised for exciting plans to reframe its future either as a huge stand-alone setting for a family or as an extensive two-block landholding offering unrivalled rewards.

This rare offering in quiet and convenient surroundings across from James Reserve is entirely unique for the area and delivers quick and easy access to local cafes, the Burgundy Street precinct, Ivanhoe shopping centre, numerous schools, the Austin Hospital and excellent transport options.
