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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 650 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Malvern (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,932/m² of land (n=36). 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

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 $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. 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 Harris Real Estate Kent Town

When life's noise turns to a rare serenity, you've arrived at a bungalow worth waiting for...

Sure, Malvern is renowned for its leafy streets and a hush that defies its proximity to the CBD; but there's a special serenity about this sandstone-fronted bungalow...

The kind worth waiting for.

If its decorative ceilings and polished pine floors could talk, it would pass on many thanks to its current owners.

Read the full description

Over 21 years, they have preserved the past to perfection, added dashes of flair, upgraded where it matters most, and extended on a 650sqm block that ends in a solar heated pool.

A long, wide hall extends an unhindered invitation to that extension, and passes by three double bedrooms, study nook, formal lounge and home office.

One day, that home office could be a fourth bedroom. Until then, put a desk under the window framing a front yard dotted with white roses and red apples. Working from home never looked so good.

In true bungalow fashion, the master bedroom is BIG. Only this time, a walk-in robe and spa-blessed ensuite make mornings a little more marvellous.

When the ceilings start to make angles and Italian glass blocks insulate and naturally illuminate, you've arrived at the living room and kitchen.

A magenta splashback offers a dash of vibrancy in a super-functional kitchen headlined by a Miele dishwasher, stainless steel oven and a secret pantry that, like a showcase, sends a glow through your spice containers. Yum!

Then comes the cottage garden that is as much a work of art as it is utterly serene...

Fruit trees, vines, gardens beds and birds form the backdrop to your pergola and pool. The silence is beautifully deafening.

And, boy, is it worth waiting for!

More reasons why we love this home:

- Double carport, plus secure gated entry

- Ducted evaporative cooling

- Very secure - monitored alarm system

- Upgraded, modern main bathroom with bidet and frameless shower

- Large workshop - with power and workbenches - to rear

- Quality built-in storage to bedrooms, hall and rear lounge

- Built-in desk to study nook

- Irrigation to beautifully presented front and rear yards

- Salt chlorination to solar heated pool

- Induction cooktop to kitchen

- Porcelain tiling and flower-themed splashbacks to laundry

- A range of fruit trees; including figs, Fuji apples, lemon, lime, kiwi, passionfruit, nectarine and more.
