18 Brennan Road, Yagoona NSW 2199

Flood overlay present | upper-end valuation | duplex density | yields below market | pool maintenance cost The flood overlay introduces insurance cost escalation and a resale discount mechanism that typically subtracts 5–10% from peak value in a normal market, equating to a potential $100,000–$200,000 drag against the $2 million mid-point estimate. The 3.3–3.78% rental yield sits below Yagoona’s duplex average, meaning cash flow will be tighter unless rent grows. Decision: proceed only if you can hold through a soft sale cycle and capitalise on the rare pool and backyard—features that command a premium over standard duplex stock. This property’s competitive edge lies in its near-new condition and uncommon combination of a private pool, oversized yard, and four-car parking—rare in a tri-level duplex. For a buyer seeking immediate amenity with minimal renovation risk, these features secure a stronger negotiating position against older stock. Best suited to a family or investor targeting high-end tenants who value space and low maintenance.
