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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: New South Wales schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Bateau Bay's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
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
NSWPlanning 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $644/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 2.0%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
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.

Listing material
Listed by REDFOX InternationalSet at one of the highest points in Bateau Bay and quietly tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, 52 Berne Street offers a rare sense of elevation, light and calm – a home that feels both grounded and removed from the everyday.
Renovated and spanning three generous levels, this solid brick residence is north-facing, capturing winter sun and cooling sea breezes. A highlight is the sweeping views across Lake Tuggerah to the Watagans, and ocean glimpses out toward Terrigal. Established gardens and surrounding treetops create a peaceful, almost tree-house atmosphere, offering privacy without isolation.
At the heart of the home, a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and custom detailing anchors the main living level, flowing seamlessly to multiple balconies and outdoor spaces. Whether hosting long lunches, evening drinks or quiet mornings in the sun, the home has been exceptionally designed for entertaining.
Accommodation is generous and flexible, with four well-proportioned bedrooms including a spacious master suite with walk-in robe and stylish ensuite. Downstairs, the home provides outstanding versatility; it currently has a semi self-contained level for extended family or potential holiday accommodation.
Outside, the expansive backyard and established gardens offer rare scope to add a swimming pool, granny flat or enhanced outdoor entertaining area (STCA), while still preserving the home’s natural setting and sense of space.
Ideally positioned, the home is just minutes from Bateau Bay Square, offering supermarkets, cafés and everyday essentials. Forresters Beach and Shelley Beach are just a five-minute drive away, and Blue Bay can be reached in under 10-minutes, and Bateau Bay Beach only a 4 min drive or why not walk the short 1.6 km, providing easy access to some of the area’s most pristine coastline. Quality schools, parks, coastal walks, lakefront activities and playgrounds are all close by, making this an exceptional location for families seeking lifestyle and convenience in equal measure.
