  • FactLand 860 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in West End (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,084/m² of land (n=80). 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

QLD

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 $417/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.

Listing material

Listed by Ray White Townsville

SOLD PRIOR TO AUCTION By Giovanni Spinella

As you step through the front gate you will not believe this was once a traditional Queenslander cottage. The now beautifully presented and meticulously maintained home has undergone a full redesign leaving much of the original home hidden as the bones of what you see today. The original home has been lifted and now sits on the modern constructed lower floor which is just about another house in itself.

A cosy front porch surrounded by greenery greets you at the front door, a stunning vantage point for the sunrise in the morning before you head inside. Into the foyer and continuing on the ground floor leads you into the first of two stunning open plan living areas. The builder has played homage to the period of the original home with touches of louvred style windows and VJ walls down here connecting the spaces. The stunning large stone kitchen stands proud in this space overlooking a family lounge flowing seamlessly to the lower level outside entertaining area and the now perfect back gardens with super green grass for the kids. The first bedroom downstairs could be mistaken as the master with its sheer size perfect as a guest room or teenagers dream bedroom.

Down the hallway is a further two spacious bedrooms equally spoilt with a family bathroom featuring a deep bathtub and separate shower, every girls dream mirror and custom made stone double vanity. Ample storage on the lower level with space under the stairs and a triple slider in the hallway also cleverly hiding the laundry.

Read the full description

As we head up the solid timber stairs and bend around a featured wall the VJ panelling continues with the first glimpses of the second gleaming white kitchen at the top of the stairs. It feels cosy and warm with beautiful, polished timber floors in contrast to the modern crisp colours throughout. A completely new floorplan makes use of every space with a Juliet front balcony off the lounge area with stunning views of castle hill. The dining room flows onto the full length rear deck offering outdoor entertaining and privacy while you watch the kids play below. A cute study nook using every millimetre is perfectly framed with the original arched ceilings. The master retreat is tucked away by itself upstairs and exudes class, filled with natural light. The ensuite has been purposely designed for his and hers with double everything.

Just when you thought it could not give anymore the finishing touches really make this house feel like home. Electric gate and double carport, fully irrigated, new landscaping, beautifully paved perimeters, and a location that is simply hard to beat.
