Your buyer evidence guide
The useful records, what they mean, and the questions they leave open. Start here, then explore the evidence below.
How much price evidence fits
The wider pool is not a set of identical homes. Bedroom count, condition and location within the suburb affect comparability.
Published auction evidence · model trained through 2026-10-23The strata scheme
Scheme size provides context. It does not tell us the current levies, finances or condition of the building.

An application is not an approval or a promise that building work will happen. Location and stage matter.
NSW Planning Portal · individual records in Explore the areaNo dated campaign events are available here. That does not establish that the asking price or agent has never changed.
Use these with the agent and your independent advisers. An answer is something to verify, not a fact we have recorded.
The estimate is a model output. The records are evidence. Your inspection and document checks fill the gaps.
This is a comparison with the evidence we hold, not a valuation or a recommended offer.
Confidence: Low — based on 151 comparable auction sales (8 of this exact configuration) · model runs ±11% for this configuration · confidence held at Low — under 20 same-configuration sales · priced from this property's own records: building age, land value · the model's typical miss is ~11% against published results — every hit and miss
crime index: 87 — well above sydney average · 1 min walk to Newtown · ~8 min train to the CBD · trains ~every 4 min at peak
These are due-diligence prompts, not a verdict on this property.
$950–$1188/wk is what 3-bed units in 2042 actually transact for (middle half of 38 bonds lodged, last 12 mo · median $1010/wk — NSW Fair Trading, CC BY).
2019Q1 → 2026Q2: $475 → $680/wk · +6% over the last 12 months (latest four quarters averaged against the previous four) — quarterly new-tenancy medians for units in 2042, all bedroom counts pooled.
Asking rents are what agents hope for; bond figures are what tenants actually signed at (NSW Fair Trading bond lodgements, CC BY). No yield % is derived here: each rent above is a different grain from this home's price, and a ratio of two grains reads as precision it doesn't have. New-tenancy rents run hotter than sitting rents. Not financial advice.
Measured like-for-like growth ≈ -3.1%/yr — 1-bed sold-price medians across 15 quarters (51 sales).
Suburb-level, from published auction results. No single building has enough sales for a block-level series, so this is the honest grain; sales-mix shifts move raw medians, and the measured rate (when shown) controls for bed count.

Prices as published on the selling agency's own website (their sold pages) — includes private-treaty sales the auction results never see. Only sales the agency chose to publish a figure for appear here.
Withdrawn from auction isn't the end of a sale — of withdrawn Sydney homes that went on to sell, half sold within 66 days.
62% sold within three months of the scheduled auction.
1,548 withdrawn-then-sold homes across Sydney. We don't publish a price figure for withdrawn homes: the measured gap is too unstable to stand behind, and a number we can't defend is worse than none. Based on withdrawn homes that later sold. Homes that never sold aren't in the figure — withdrawal sometimes means a private deal was already done, and sometimes means the listing simply ended.
A retail/commercial hub — shops and services at your door, but busier and noisier.
Heritage conservation area — King Street. The property sits in a heritage conservation area — the streetscape is protected, so visible/external changes are controlled. It's area-wide, not this building specifically; it tends to preserve character and value.
Height limit 15m (≈ 4 storeys) — the current legal ceiling for new building at this point under the LEP. Any proposal above it needs a variation or a rezoning — the kind of change the fast-track pipeline tracks.
Floor space ratio 2.5:1 — the maximum gross floor area you can build is 2.5:1 times the site area.

Matched at this exact address or within ~150 m of its geocoded point — proximity evidence, not a parcel-level check. Lodged means proposed, not approved or built. Outcome comes from a separate NSW dataset that stops in Nov 2023: applications determined after that, or still undetermined, read “not on record” — which means we don't know, never that it was refused. “Status” is the council's own workflow state and “Determined” on its own does not say which way it went.

Building Commission NSW / Strata Community Association 2023 Strata Defects Survey: 53% of newly registered strata buildings reported at least one serious defect in common property (39% in the 2021 survey). Defects are common, not exceptional — and new does not mean safe (Opal Tower was under a year old).
Get an independent structural and strata inspection before you commit — the defect base rate makes it the single highest-value dollar in the purchase.
We cannot see inside a building — no one can from public records. This section states base rates and observable adjacency only, and will never call a building safe.
Strata plan SP70691 registered 2003 — the building is at least 23 years old · 28 lots in the scheme.
