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 736 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.

Honest achievable rent

This lot's DA history

Listing material
Listed by Albany Property TeamINNER CITY COTTAGES IN HIGH DEMAND
Fast becoming a rare commodity due to a spike in interest from savvy property punters and renovators, gems such as this somewhat neglected yet potential-packed, renovation-ready city centre original are now considered quite the prize in Albany.
And, the fact it has great prospects for harbour views, and sits beside a prime piece of real estate you could also acquire, simply heightens its appeal.
The location is also a major drawcard, with the local cafe, arts centre and park, and downtown Albany just a short walk away.
The 1940s home stands on a level lot, with side access to a shed and lean-to and the spacious, sunny aspect backyard.
Refurbish and expand your living at the rear of the home and add a second level to harness the views available, then move in and embrace the lifestyle, or flip the property and move onto your next project.
The home has obviously seen better days but its bones are solid, with jarrah framework throughout plus original decorative cornices, high ceilings and a new roof.
It is also more spacious than you might imagine.
The full-width semi-open verandah flows to a large separate lounge, with a classic 1940s fireplace.
The country kitchen is a great size and so typical of the era, with its Metters wood stove, which actually works. Even the bedrooms are a great size.
And as for the wet areas, they are certainly passed their use by dates, however, that won't deter inspired renovators.
Secure this diamond in the rough and create something new and exciting.
