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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $3,300,000 (22 Aug 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 685 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Cooks Hill (last 5 years) with land size: median $7,378/m² of land (n=52). 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

NSW

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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $672/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. 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.

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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

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

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • 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

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

One of Newcastle’s finest renovation projects, blending conservation, creativity, and modern sustainable design

Three beautiful frangipani trees herald your arrival at 'Frangipani House,' a stunning c.1918 post Federation era home. A sublime renovation and extension, by the talented team at Zugai Strudwick Architects (ZSA), blends the home's perfectly preserved original period features with contemporary style and functionality utilising passive solar design principles. The result is a light-filled and airy sanctuary where timeless beauty meets modern luxury.

It's easy to imagine enjoying an afternoon cocktail on the front verandah as the sun filters through the trees and your neighbours stop by to say 'Hello!' Inside you will be wowed by the beautiful Ironbark floors, 3.1m high ornate plaster ceilings, leadlight and coloured glass windows, fretwork and tall skirts and architraves. Functionality and versatility are hallmarks of the home. The original section houses three bedrooms, a shower bathroom, lounge room, and eat-in kitchenette with a sliding barn door separating it from the contemporary new extension. This versatility makes it ideal as kids' quarters, separate Airbnb accommodation, or potential professional consulting rooms adding to the appeal.

The rear extension, completed in 2014, features heated polished concrete floors, a soaring raked ceiling, and an abundance of glass and louvres to let in natural light, cross ventilation, and seamless access to the deck and verdant gardens. The Nadin West kitchen and dining area features stone benches, abundant storage, and quality appliances, catering effortlessly to family living or entertaining. Beyond, find a second living area, and fourth bedroom with full-size bathroom all converging to create a sanctuary like retreat for parents.
