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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $690,000 (1 May 2021).(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

ACT

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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $440/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 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.

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 for this property.

  • 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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.

  • 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.

It's your lucky day.

Everything you need is in this gorgeous, light filled, two bedroom townhouse in the vibrant hamlet of Cook. It's beautiful! Quiet and peaceful, it's such an easy place to live and rumour has it that good things happen to people who live here.

Read the full description

Built in the 1970s by the Australian National University for academic staff, this private, solid brick complex was built for comfort and amenity rather than a developers bottom line. Thoughtfully designed, each of the townhouses have spacious living areas, floor to ceiling windows in all rooms, large gardens and courtyards, generous parking spaces, carports and guest parking. Updated yet maintaining her original charm, we love the retro kitchen, a cheerful space with heavy duty lino floor and cheeky character. The solid Tasmanian Oak flooring has recently been professionally polished, gleaming and gorgeous today as ever.

Step through sliding glass doors from the living area onto a sunny deck in an enormous, fully enclosed rear garden backed by grassy parkland. The beautiful outlook is framed by a 30 year old golden elm, the high canopy providing shade in summer and letting sun shine through in winter. Sheltered and private, it's been home to many pets over the years, most recently, two free range rabbits.

This is a superbly convenient location. A walk or ride will connect you with the green corridors close by, with easy access to Little Oink, Two Before 10 or Belconnen Town Centre in a matter of minutes. Coffee and newspaper on a Saturday morning never looked so good!

You will think all your luck has come at once when you see this gorgeous place. Location, lifestyle and a beautiful home – this property is going to make someone's day. If you're lucky, it might just be yours.
