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

Why this property?

  • CalculationLand 933 m² against a 213 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Mount Lawley (last 5 years) with land size: median $4,242/m² of land (n=43). 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.
  • FactZoned Residential (1) under the STIRLING.(Landgate SLIP · 30 Aug 2026)

What could make it worth less?

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.

Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.

Bushfire

Not detected — official

The official layer was queried and no bushfire risk zone was detected on this parcel (Landgate SLIP, retrieved 30 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.

Heritage

The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (Landgate SLIP, retrieved 30 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.

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 933 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

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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 $646/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.

2 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 933 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?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 936 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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

    No DA adapter returned applications 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.

Listing material

Listed by Mark Hay

1945 Character Charmer and so much land!

Sitting behind the wrought iron fence is this character classic resting on a large 933m block with rear lane access.

Built in 1945, this art deco abode offers all the charm of yesteryear with porch entry, colonial windows and doors, traditional hallway with decorative fretwork, high ceilings, jarrah flooring, ornate cornicing, picture rails, ceiling roses and fireplaces with decorative period mantle pieces.

The two major bedrooms rest at the front of the home and are enormous with central fireplaces and with the master bedroom having access to its own private porch.

Read the full description

The hero of the home is the massive grand central living room with feature fireplace, double access doors to the front verandah, a classic bay window seat and service window into the adjacent kitchen.

Positioned on the opposite side of the hallway is the tidy central bathroom and the hidden American laundry, then make your way to the rear of the home and you will find the tidy well-sized dining and kitchen with ample cupboard space, room for a large sized fridge, double bowl sink and the serving window into the living room.

A 3rd bedroom or second living area is also positioned at the rear of the home and again has a central fireplace, jarrah flooring, high ceilings and ornate cornicing.

The expansive rear entertaining patio overseas a massive back yard with back lane access with enough room for a caravan, boat, trailers, and multiple cars, or design a gorgeous rear extension with room for a large pool and landscaped gardens.

Low maintenance living is on offer with artificial lawn throughout the front and rear yards.

Being positioned in a well exposed position on Walcott St, the home can double as your personal abode, with the ideal opportunity to create a home office or practice, with prominent street signage to advertise yourself.

Zoning is R12.5 and the area is in a heritage protection precinct which encourages homeowners to retain and renovate, to highlight the typical character features of the period. A renovation can see a roof height reached of 10m if it is a pitched roof, which could entail a lofted third level under the roof, subject to council approval.

Location

The location is ideal, situated in the midst of both the Mt Lawley and North Perth café strips and only 2.6km from the Perth CBD. Both the Inglewood café and shopping strip as well as the Morley Galleria are easily accessible by car, as are a variety of recreational clubs and parks Such as Mt Lawley Golf Club and Beatty Park and Terry Tyzack Aquatic Centers and Edith Cowan University.

You are in the intake zone for the popular Mt Lawley Senior High School and have sought-after private schools nearby including Perth College and Trinity College.

As an investment opportunity, Air BNB is allowed and the proximity to the city would see this as a popular location for both short term visitors as well as long term students attending the Edith Cowan university.
