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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $457,500 (8 Mar 2016).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 545 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Lorn (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,640/m² of land (n=43). 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

NSW

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.” 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 $608/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.

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

    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?

    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

    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.

Read the full description

The period features start at the front gate with the original hardwood picket fence framing the two-level home.

Cement front steps lead to the covered timber verandah, which features detailed Federation timber fretwork, and the original timber front door with stunning leadlight inserts is a true highlight.

Inside the charming features keep coming, with a leadlight bullseye feature window taking centre stage in the wide entry hall.

The leadlight and timber windows continue in the spacious living room where patterned ceilings, striking timber fretwork, picture rails, rich natural timber high skirting boards and a brick fireplace pay homage to yesteryear.

The dining room takes a slightly more modern turn combining a fireplace, wide timber skirting boards and elegant timber doors, with leadlight inserts, with new brush box timber flooring and a new ceiling complete with rosette.

The kitchen and meals area is both practical and charming with large timber windows and timber French doors leading out to the rear entertaining deck.

The kitchen has lots of timber cabinetry, long benches, a built-in wine rack and a dishwasher.

The home has four bedrooms, two on the ground floor and two more on the upper level.

The master bedroom features all of the period details that make the home great, including timber and leadlight windows, timber wall and ceiling accents, wide cedar skirting boards and timber doors, with leadlight detailing, which lead to the front verandah.

There’s also floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry.

The other bedrooms all have period features and built-in robes and the central bathroom gives nods to the past with its tessellated tiled floor, subway wall tiles and feature leadlight windows.

Practically it features a shower over the bath, a timber vanity with ceramic basin and original accessories.

Other features of the home include Daikin ducted air conditioning, established leafy gardens, brick courtyards and a separate shed.

The home is set on a 545sqm allotment in a prime location just a two minute walk from Maitland’s CBD.
