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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $757,000 (9 Feb 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 4,048 m² against a 136 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Serpentine (last 5 years) with land size: median $178/m² of land (n=83). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 4,048 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $629/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. 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.

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. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

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

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 4,048 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • 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

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

The Main Cottage:

Swooning with character, the cottage homestead is surprisingly spacious for her vintage, crafted from jarrah hardwood in an era when local milling was an art form. Flaunting nostalgic lashings of timber features throughout, including polished jarrah floorboards, high raked ceilings with exposed timber trusses & original sash windows.

Offering 2 very generous bedrooms at either end of the home - the master suite boasts a very large dressing robe with cupboard storage, could easily double as a nursery given the extra space on offer.

The marriage of history with modern styling is celebrated in the renovated kitchen which boasts a stainless steel 900mm freestanding 5 hob gas cooktop & oven.

A separate scullery area with benchtops, cupboards, and dishwasher ensures the cleanup is kept behind the scenes while the stage of the kitchen is set for culinary theatre & family entertainment.

Open and inviting, the heart of this home has comfortably hosted as many as 30 loved ones for family Christmas lunch. French doors on both the northern and southern sides of the living room lead out to decked verandahs & paved outdoor living spaces to continue entertaining guests or enjoy the lush reticulated gardens & grounds in the peace of your hammock with the company of a good book and the local birdlife.

As with all classic homes - there's so many options for changing the layout with little effort, and this floorplan has so much potential for you to adjust every space to suit your preferences or requirements.

The Stone Cottage:

The stone studio is fully powered & self-contained with 1 bedroom, living area, bathroom & kitchen. Constructed of local stone & bush poles, if you haven't the need for 2 separate dwellings, this magnificent building would be the perfect art studio or B&B accommodation.

Love a Shed?

For the busier heart or mind - the 11m x 7m powered workshop and double rollers has plenty of space to keep you tinkering on any project large or small.

What To Do Next:

The opportunities presented here are legitimately endless and for a true appreciation, this property commands close inspection!
