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

Why this property?

  • CalculationLand 680 m² against a 98 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Torrens (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,554/m² of land (n=11). 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.

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.

Listing material

Listed by Civium Property Group

Great Opportunity to break into the Woden Market!!

If you are looking to move into the very desirable suburb of Torrens, then this property is certainly going to be of interest to you.

Looking attractive from the street, this neat 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom residence won't disappoint when you enter the home.

As you enter, you will find that for ease of storage, there is a large entry cupboard which is designed as a combined coat cupboard and linen press.

Read the full description

To the right of the entry, you will find a hallway which leads you to the 3 bedrooms, bathroom and separate toilet. The main bedroom has mirror robes, while the other two bedrooms have space for free standing robes.

Flowing on from the entry to the left is a lovely, cosey lounge room where you will look forward to relaxing at the end of the day.

The Canberra winters are kept under control by the gas wall furnace heater which is centrally located in the living areas while the lounge room windows are enhanced by heavy drapes to assist with the thermal control.

The lounge room then opens on to the family/meals area and kitchen.

Although the kitchen is small, it is extremely functional and includes a gas cooktop, under bench oven, rangehood, dishwasher, privacy screen to the meals area and a window over the sink overlooking the large, covered rear deck.

For convenience, the kitchen leads through to the laundry which has a rear door to the deck and also an internal door through to the entry.

This internal door is a fantastic feature as it allows you to avoid the kitchen being used as a thoroughfare to the deck and rear yard.

The rear deck is simply huge! It has railings and brand new lazerlite to the roof.

This is a fantastic extention of the living areas and will be the perfect spot to entertain or for children to play.

The rear yard is quite private with established, mature plantings. It offers plenty of space for children and pets while also being quite easy care. Children's play equipment and a very large garden shed add to the appeal, as does the access gate from the carport to the rear yard.

Car accommodation is provided by a metal carport and additional off street parking.

This is a fabulous opportunity to live or invest in one of the most prestigeous suburbs in Woden!!

Features Include:

Entry level home into Torrens

Extremely neat from the street

3 bedrooms, main with mirror robes

Kitchen with gas cooking & dishwasher

Comfort of gas wall furnace heating

Bathroom with separate toilet

Very large covered rear timber deck

Easy care gardens and grounds

Carport and offstreet parking
