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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $2,411,000 (15 July 2022).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 13,300 m² against a 721 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Mclaren Flat (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,181/m² of land (n=42). 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

SA

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $621/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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.

Set to impress from the moment you arrive via the automated gates, dual access driveway.

Inside, fresh neutral tones, floorboards, tiles and new carpet in all bedrooms.

For those who like to entertain, you will be bursting with excitement with the sleek gourmet kitchen and an abundance of space to welcome family and friends, all while enjoying the enviable outlook to your magical rear yard.

All three bedrooms are of a generous size with ceiling fans, two with built—in robes, an amazing master suite, with reverse cycle split system air-conditioning, automated blinds, private access via double sliding doors to your yard, to admire those sweeping views; walk-in robe and en-suite with corner spa, shower and toilet.

Perfectly located between the kitchen and master suite is the study/home office, also a great place for supervised homework to take place!

Your gourmet kitchen has an abundance of cupboard space, gas cooktop, dual drawer dishwasher, double sink and a large pantry; the budding Chef/Entertainer will be keen to get to work! Multiple eatery options, with casual meals available in the kitchen or the outdoor/indoor dining area which houses its own barbecue, with fully enclosed clear blinds for the cooler months.

Adjacent the indoor/outdoor space is the large, however cosy, lounge room with combustion heater which on those cold winter days keeps the entire home warm. If you're looking for an instant option you can put on the reverse cycle split system. The home also has ducted evaporative air-conditioning throughout.

Separated by sliding doors is the breath-taking indoor hexagon gazebo with timber ceiling, ceiling fan and floor to ceiling glass, encapsulating an amazing aspect of the rear yard.

More entertaining is provided in the Bali hut with thatched roof and the most amazing location to relax pool side and create that holiday feeling every day. Please note, the pool is currently empty as it requires a minor lining repair, it has been recommended to be completed in the warmer months.

Leave the current chicken runs in the front yard, or setup your own hobby farm, either way the ease of removing those centre sections provides you with loads of flexibility.

Dual driveway access to the home with double garage and a huge triple shed, measuring approximately 15m wide x 9m deep x 3m high (with mezzanine), a great spot to house more vehicles or assist with storage/warehousing options for your hobby farm, or great spot for the caravan or camper!
