No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 779 m² — that is not official geometry. 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $575/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
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
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
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.

Honest achievable rent

Listing material
Listed by Merrifield Real EstateFrom high on Mount Clarence in historic Albany, this property enjoys panoramic views over Princess Royal Harbour, around to town and the entertainment centre, and out to Torndirrup National Park and the wind farm.
It also presents a diversity of options for astute purchasers recognising its numerous advantages for location and lifestyle as well as the possibility of replacing the existing home with a state-of-the-art, contemporary residence, in line with the Albany Historic Town Design Policy.
Sited towards the back of its sloping 779sqm block, the 1920s timber cottage has been extended and modernised over the years. It is in good condition and well presented, so it could be rented out with an excellent tenant already in place on a periodic tenancy, or lived in and the property developed later.
The home displays timber features such as floors, walls and ceilings in some rooms, and slate flooring in the kitchen & laundry.
At the back, the generous open-plan, air-conditioned living space incorporates extensive glazing to make the most of the outlook. Glass doors lead out onto a rear deck for summer relaxation, and a wood fire ensures cosy winters.
A breakfast bar in the kitchen – which has electric cooking and a pantry cupboard – is also sited on the view side.
All three bedrooms are good-sized doubles, and the modernised bathroom features a walk-in shower, vanity and toilet, all in sparkling white.
In addition to undercroft storage, there's a powered shed-workshop under the house.
At the top of the block is a double garage and there's access to the rear via a laneway from the street at the back.
A dress circle view of the city's new year's eve fireworks will be a spectacular bonus for the new owners, who will also appreciate the proximity to amenities. Within easy walking distance of the city for cafés, entertainment and shops, the property is also a bike-ride away from primary and high schools.
Far-sighted owners will recognise the wealth of potential this property offers, and the possibilities for enhancing both lifestyle and value.
