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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $833,000 (11 Oct 2023).(Recorded sale)

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 $602/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.

Listing material

Listed by SOLD Real Estate

Amazing side access corner block, ripe for 2nd occupancy subject to council approval, extensively renovated main house + detached bedroom & bathroom!

Located in the heart of Swansea, whether you're young or old, you can leave the car at home, and enjoy an amazing seaside village lifestyle, in a home that is so much more move in ready than most of the oldies close to town.

Completely transformed and extensively renovated, not only have the kitchen and bathroom been replaced with fresh and new, but the whole layout has been changed.

Instead of a pokey kitchen and disjointed living, with random bedrooms here and there, the layout is now so much more free flowing.

Read the full description

The summer Nor Easterly sea breezes now whistle through the property from front to back, with a lovely hallway letting the breezes and light stream through the home.

Open living now features at the rear of the property, flowing outdoors to covered rear living and the backyard, with guest or granny quarters in between.

Blessed with lovely old world features like cute cottage looks, high ceilings and lovely wide decorative cornices, the mix of old and new is very appealing, especially now the layout is focused on open plan rear living and a genuine bedrooms and bathroom wing.

Perfect for families, couples and singles, with too many toys, there's nearly half the block still left over to park all of your cars, boats, trailers and caravans off-street, or build that dream shed you've always wanted to.

Terrific wide, auto gate, side access means getting vehicles in and out is easy, especially with it being off a side street.

For those with plans for a second occupancy, there's stacks of room to build a full blown granny flat, away from the main house, subject to council approval of course, perfect for investors and families alike, as well as retirees keen to enjoy an extra source of income in their twilight years.

More development minded buyers might like to consider trying to acquire next door down the track and building villas or town-houses, as the location is perfect for cashed up retiree and professional buyers.

Until then, the current home is extremely move in ready and very well presented, making it the perfect place to call home or perfect rental.

Long term tenants are sure to be happy with somewhere as fresh and well located as this, especially considering the extra adapted granny or guest quarters out back big bonus …

Offering an incredibly affordable price tag, our last 2 sales on Lake Road went for $1,180,000 and $1,320,000!

However these owners are serious sellers, they've already bought elsewhere and they're definitely after way less than these prices, although if you're feeling generous they'll take whatever extra you might like to give them ;)
