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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: Western Australia schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Northam's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
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 5,218 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 $510/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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.3%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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.

Listing material
Listed by Elders Real Estate Western AustraliaSet on an elevated 5,218m² block on the peaceful outskirts of Northam, this substantial property offers a rare combination of space, privacy, quality construction and genuine multi-generational living.
Positioned back from Purkiss Drive and surrounded by long-term residents in a quiet and highly regarded street, this is a home where you can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a semi-rural setting while remaining conveniently close to town.
And the outlook is something special. From its elevated position, enjoy beautiful views across the surrounding area, with the added pleasure of watching hot air balloons drift across the morning sky. The elevated setting also captures lovely natural breezes, adding to the home's relaxed atmosphere throughout the year.
Built to Last
Constructed in 1989 using solid double brick and iron, this home was thoughtfully designed and built by the current owner, a respected long-term Northam builder, with quality, practicality and longevity firmly in mind.
Adding further confidence in the construction, the home was engineered to earthquake code standards by a family structural engineer. The attention to detail continues throughout, with finishes completed by family tradesmen to a specification exceeding standard residential expectations.
The result is a substantial home that was built with purpose and designed to stand the test of time.
Spacious Main Residence
The main residence offers three generously proportioned bedrooms, all with built-in robes, with comfortable carpet throughout.
The spacious front lounge room is enhanced by attractive bay windows, allowing plenty of natural light to filter through while adding character and warmth to the home.
At the centre of the home is the combined kitchen and dining area. The kitchen enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear gardens, making it easy to keep an eye on children, pets or the outdoors while preparing meals.
A practical laundry provides an added bonus with its own shower and toilet, while the main bathroom and separate toilet are conveniently positioned off the hallway.
Genuine Dual-Living Potential
One of the property's standout features is the semi-detached one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence, providing exceptional flexibility for a range of living arrangements.
Ideal for extended family, independent teenagers, guests or those wanting a little extra separation, this self-contained space includes:
• Its own kitchen
• Separate living room
• Master bedroom with built-in wardrobe
• Bathroom
• Private external access
• Internal access into the main residence
The property is also serviced by two separate hot water systems, with one dedicated exclusively to the semi-detached residence, allowing both areas to operate comfortably and independently.
The additional accommodation may also offer potential for supplementary income, subject to the relevant approvals and the buyer's own investigations.
Space Outside to Match
The expansive grounds provide the space and flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find.
A bitumen driveway leads to a large freestanding garage with a concrete floor and power, complemented by an adjoining lockable workshop shed, also powered. Whether you're a tradie, hobbyist, collector or simply need plenty of storage, there is room to accommodate it all.
There's also abundant parking for multiple vehicles, trailers, caravans and boats.
Established fruit trees, lawned areas to both the front and rear, and a generous paved patio create an inviting outdoor setting for entertaining, relaxing or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The gardens are fully reticulated, while security screens to all doors and windows provide an added level of practicality and peace of mind.
A Rare Opportunity
Properties offering genuine dual-living flexibility, substantial land and quality construction are becoming increasingly hard to find.
Whether you're looking for a home where multiple generations can live together while maintaining their independence, space for a growing family, accommodation for guests or simply a peaceful lifestyle property with room to move, this unique Northam property deserves your inspection.
