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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 1,001 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Wandana Heights (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,416/m² of land (n=25). 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

VIC

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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $507/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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 Gartland Property

Meticulous Family Home on 1001sqm.

The beautifully cared for family home offers more than just somewhere to live. Immaculately presented both inside and out; the home is surrounded by well established gardens; it is set on 1001sqm; offers spacious living areas; and there is no doubt the design was ahead of its time. The orientation maximises the morning light into the bedrooms, and the outdoor entertaining area is the beneficiary of the warm westerly afternoon sun. The property is extremely family friendly; upon entry to the right is the formal lounge, which leads around to a meals area which directly adjoins the kitchen. To the left of the entry you are led through to the main dining and second sitting area, which offers direct access to the outdoor entertaining space. The kitchen has been purposely positioned to create the perfect central area that overlooks the meals, dining and the outdoor living space, which maintains the flow of the home and maximises supervision for the growing family. The kitchen boasts generous storage, a walk-in pantry, and recently replaced appliances including a pyrolytic oven. The thoughtful design carries through to the bedrooms; the master is expansive, offering a generous robe and ensuite; bedrooms 2 & 3 feature walk in robes; and the study is perfect for a home office, guest bedroom or nursery as required. The creature comforts include gas ducted heating, a split system, and gas wall furnace; the home has been recently painted and features new carpet throughout. The rear yard has been carefully created to offer a number of highly useable areas; the largest space to the rear is grassed, well established, features a garden shed and is perfect to run around on, or place a trampoline; the second area is adjacent to the barbeque area and would look great with a pool. It captures the North, West sun, and is open and light; the third is the entertaining area, which is undercover, offers a built in barbeque, is paved throughout and features access to the garage. There is excellent parking available, with a double garage including remote access to the right hand side, and good driveway access. The position is incredibly private but is extremely close to a number of key locations; the Tim Hill reserve and tennis courts are less than a kilometre away; Deakin University and the Epworth Hospital are less that 1.5km's away along the walking tracks; Christian College is approximately 500metres from the home, and there is plenty of parkland to walk and enjoy the open air.

Potential rental return $520 - $550 per week. To discuss in further detail please contact Emily Reid on 0411 497 783.

In order to protect the health and safety of all Gartland Property staff and clients, and In-line with current COVID-19 (Coronavirus) updates, you may be asked to adhere to current social distancing recommendations when inspecting this property.
