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

  • FactLand 902 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Ainslie (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,984/m² of land (n=37). 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

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 $367/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.

Listing material

Listed by Luton Properties Canberra City

Functionality. Form. Style.

One of finest homes in the Inner North, 51 Duffy Street has been designed and constructed without compromise. This stunning dwelling succeeds in balancing form and function, space and intimacy, history and modernity.

Imbued with the owners' love of design, creative touches stretch from an entryway lit by a striking hand-blown 'balloon' pendant light and adorned with flowing wall art, through to the random black-and-white floor tiling of an expansive ensuite bathroom. Funky Scandinavian fabric blinds, polished concrete floors and European designed fittings and fixtures bring a creative flair to this large four-bedroom home.

Form, however, doesn't trump function. An entertainer's dream, the doubled-sided kitchen features a floor-to-ceiling open pantry, Miele combination steam oven, large Gaggenau conventional oven, professional Qasair range hood, induction stovetop and wok burner. Seemingly endless stainless-steel benches and abundant soft-close drawers accommodate the needs of family cooks and aspiring master chefs alike. And there's easy access to an herb garden abundant in mint, oregano, thyme, sage, rosemary, sorrel and lemon verbena.

Read the full description

The raked ceilings of two spacious living areas harvest natural light and create a sense of space conducive to quiet relaxation or entertaining. Seven-foot high sliding glass doors allow celebrations to flow out to a stylish tiled deck afforded privacy by dense bamboo screening. Equally, the living spaces can be closed off for more intimate dinners.

A corridor feature wall of the original house Canberra red bricks connects the house to its history and contrasts with the home's thoroughly modern touches. Kitchen bins open automatically to touch, stainless steel soap dispensers are built into benchtops, and purified water is delivered via a built-in four-stage reverse osmosis filtering system. Programmable in-slab hydronic heating provides a consistent warmth in winter months, while double-glazed windows throughout contributes to the home's six-star energy rating. An electronically-controlled watering system ensures the designer landscaped gardens are well irrigated.

Completed in late 2011 by Blvd Design & Construction, this state-of-the-art and highly original home is in pristine condition. Having overseen the home's design and personally collected many of the fittings during overseas travel, the reluctant sellers look forward to finding enthusiastic custodians of their hard work and passion.
