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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $451,000 (19 Mar 2024).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 2,028 m² against a 118 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.
  • FactZoned Local road (796) under the SERPENTINE JARRAHDALE.(Landgate SLIP · 1 Sept 2026)

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?

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.

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, bushfire and heritage

Flood

Not retrieved

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 1 Sept 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.

Heritage

Not detected — official

The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (Landgate SLIP, retrieved 1 Sept 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

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 2,028 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 $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.

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 2,028 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 2,034 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.

A MAGNFICENT OPPORTUNITY

This is a unique opportunity to score a piece of local history, but not just a piece of history-a big piece of land with a great three-bedroom, one-bathroom home on it as well as approx 80m² of workshop. This is worth getting excited about!

On a half-acre corner block, just up the road from the town centre, the school and the oval, this is a prime position.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

Read the full description

This is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom family home that has two living areas. It has a kitchen for cooking. It has an outhouse for, you know…

It was built in the 1940s, and back in those days, it was apparently a service station. Then, in the 1960s, it was a deli or corner store, and it's been in the same family for well over 50 years. But the years have rolled by, and now it's time to sell.

While the house was built in the 1940s, it was updated in the 1960s. So, the decor could now be described as old-fashioned meets very old-fashioned. But it's old-fashioned in a charming, character-filled kind of way. It has high ceilings, timber flooring under ancient carpets, and led-light windows. There's plenty to do, but if you take care of the things that need doing, it will reward you enormously.

We are on half an acre of land. You won't find that for anything this big, even close to this price these days. The land is awesome-it's flat and accessible, with a frontage of approximately 60 metres. In the backyard, we've got lovely lawns that have been maintained with care and diligence for decades. There's an amazing London plane tree that is truly an exceptional highlight within this incredible backyard. And space. So much space.

The workshop is something like 80m², and there are all kinds of options when you've got this kind of room.

WHAT'S IT REALLY LIKE?

It needs external cladding to be redone; it's currently a painted imitation-brick veneer. As in it's not brick veneer but it is pretending to be. That fake brick is looking worse for wear. You could strip it back and reclad it, texture coat it, and do the cosmetic updates that would really enhance the charm of this once-beautiful home. It does need work, and that's me telling you that, so don't come along, look at it, and say, "It needs work," because we know!

SO, I reckon I know some of what you're thinking so I'll answer a few of them.

WILL THEY BE FIXING ANYTHING?

Nope. We're selling as-is with this one.

IS IT SUBDIVIDABLE?

Nope. It's still on septics here and unless sewer became available there's no subdivision potential on this one.

IS IT STRUCTRALLY SOUND?

Probably maybe. What you see is what you get, we certainly haven't tarted it up to sell it. You're buying a project. A livable project. With an inside bathroom and an outside dunny. It's being sold as is so you'll be fixing things up anyway. It's been here since the 1940s and it's still standing so that's something.

IS THERE ASBESTOS?

We don't have a report but it was all happening here in the forties, fifties and sixties when they were pumping it out of the factories, so I reckon there is.

IS IT ACTUALLY PRETTY AWESOME AND A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET A BRILLIANT BLOCK WITH A HOUSE THAT COULD BE REALLY AMAZING?

I love your attitude and vision. Yes! It's sensational. Come and make some money, my friend!

CAN I SEE IT?

Yes, hit the EMAIL AGENT button and we'll send you some times to view this weekend.
