EER 1.5 | bushfire overlay | rates shock if rezoned | 57 days unsold in 2025 The bushfire overlay introduces a material risk to insurance premiums and future resale liquidity, costing a buyer approximately $1,200–$2,400 annually in additional cover. The unimproved value of $955,000 combined with a 1.5 EER means any holding strategy must budget for immediate capital expenditure on insulation and double glazing, likely $30,000–$50,000, to counter energy inefficiency that would otherwise erode net rental yield by 15–20 basis points. This property is best held as a dual-occupancy compound for a multigenerational household, not as a passive rental. What is competitively rare is the separate self-contained studio, which effectively creates two income streams or separated living zones on a 926 m² block in an established inner-north suburb with priority enrolment at North Ainslie Primary. For a buyer who needs workplace flexibility or extended family accommodation, this feature delivers operating leverage that no comparable house in Hackett offers at this guide price. The buyer who moves quickly to commission a bushfire assessment and a thermal audit will secure the negotiating edge that passive buyers miss.
