Districts View
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.

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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 709 m² — that is not official geometry. 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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $575/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. 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.
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
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 Merrifield Real EstateThere's much to love about delightful Earl Cottage, built in late 1800's, early 1900's and carefully preserved, restored and modernised over the years.
This listing presents a rare opportunity to purchase a piece of local history in good condition and in a top location in Albany's CBD, with the bonus of a fabulous outlook to the entertainment centre and jetty, over Princess Royal Harbour and out to King George Sound and the hills of Torndirrup.
The brick and iron cottage occupies a 709sqm block, zoned R30/R60, with potential for development, making this a savvy choice for new owners with aspirations of expansion.
It has street frontage and looks a picture with its symmetrical façade with timber sash windows either side of the glass-panelled front door and a veranda with iron lace details.
Numerous internal features such as timber floors, high ceilings, deep skirtings and an open fireplace in the lounge evoke its earliest days.
The original front part of the house consists of a comfortable lounge, two king-sized bedrooms and the kitchen and meals area.
The kitchen has been modernised with good cabinetry and has a gas cooker in the alcove originally occupied by a wood stove, still with Minton-style floor tiles in place.
An extension to the rear, houses the modern white bathroom, with a bath with shower over a vanity and toilet, as well as a living room or activity area.
Glazed doors open onto a terrific, elevated rear deck, a perfect vantage point for taking in the view while relaxing over a barbecue – or watching the new year's fireworks off the nearby jetty.
A driveway leads past the house to a double garage, and there's ample off-road parking, while the rear portion of the block is in grass for easy maintenance.
The rear of the block is ripe for development, which has happened nearby, to give an example of what could be achieved on site, therefore this property would make an ideal investment.
With the cafés, restaurants, entertainment, shops and amenities of the city a short stroll away, the cottage promises a coveted inner-city lifestyle complemented by the charm of a bygone era.
