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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $730,000 (19 Mar 2016).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 600 m² against a 105 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Collinswood (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,314/m² of land (n=10). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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

SA

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 $529/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 Landmark Estates

Welcome Home!

Immense charm and style define this delightful double fronted cottage (circa 1890), diligently restored and immaculately presented. From the tessellated tiles and decorative lacework of the front verandah to the timeless appeal of the symmetrical stone facade, the calibre of this property is immediately apparent.

High ceilings, polished timber floorboards and a sophisticated palette of colours welcome you inside, where a central corridor entices you into the living area. The lounge and dining are partially open plan, however are cleverly separated by a two-way fireplace feature which blends perfectly with the character of the home.

An updated kitchen is adjacent the dining area and comes equipped with a dishwasher, rangehood, dual sinks and a pantry. The modern edge of stainless steel appliances makes a fashionable statement when coupled with a classic timber look, bringing designer flair to a functional working environment.

Read the full description

Both bedrooms enjoy the romance of open fireplaces and are comfortable in proportions, with the master suite also featuring built-in wardrobes. Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning brings modern comfort throughout, while the traditional floor plan comprising four principal rooms gives scope for versatility (possibly a three rather than two bedroom configuration) depending on your requirements.

The allotment of approximately 600 square metres strikes an enviable balance between liveability and lifestyle, with a long driveway leading onto a roller door garage ensuring ample space for off street parking. A rear verandah overlooks grassed and paved areas, with a second roller door garage making a fantastic storage facility or workshop.
