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

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 31 Aug 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 31 Aug 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 830 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 $844/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 830 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 831 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.

SOLD!

VERSATILITY. VINTAGE APPEAL.

Full of charm, character and options galore, this delightfully-renovated 3 bedroom 1 bathroom treasure comes with a fabulous bonus - a fully self-contained 1 bed 1 bath rear studio that opens up a world of possibility.

Whether it's extra space for family, an income-earning opportunity or the perfect creative hideaway, the flexibility here is irresistible. The separate studio can be found at the end of its own long driveway and has already been approved for Airbnb-type short-term accommodation.

Read the full description

Its own open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is as functional as they come. The separate bedroom is large, whilst the separate fully-tiled bathroom-cum-laundry plays host to a walk-in rain/hose shower, toilet and powder vanity/wash trough. There is also ample parking space for boats, caravans and trailers across both of the property's driveways.

A massive entry deck overlooks the front yard and is the ideal place on which to relax and unwind, before stepping into a spacious and welcoming open-plan living, dining and kitchen space where you are first introduced to solid wooden floorboards and feature decorative ceiling cornices of yesteryear. There, you will also discover an island breakfast bar, pendant light fittings, a double-door storage pantry, tiled splashbacks, double sinks, a five-burner gas cooktop and quality stainless-steel dishwasher, range-hood and under-bench-oven appliances.

The bedrooms are all large, but the master is the most generous - boasting built-in wardrobes, in the process. The stylish fully-tiled bathroom plays host to an over-size walk-in rain shower and twin-vanity basins, whilst the separate laundry has decent storage cupboard and a separate toilet.

Both the kitchen and laundry spaces open out to a dream backyard setting, where a fabulous outdoor alfresco-entertaining area stunningly overlooks a shimmering below-ground swimming pool and a separate bubbling spa. With lots of room for the kids to play in between, it truly is the perfect oasis for the entire family.

Stroll leisurely to lush green local parklands, bus stops, medical facilities and the popular Blend Café and Pizza Bar just around the corner on Marmion Street, with the gorgeous Kadidjiny Park also nearby - and both Melville Primary School and Melville

Senior High School very much within arm's reach themselves.

Additional public transport, shopping (including at Westfield Booragoon and Woolworths Melville), our picturesque Swan River and even Fremantle are all so easily accessible from this sought-after and convenient location, as well.

Bursting with personality and timeless warmth, this is a home that feels good from the moment you step inside - and even better when you realise just how many ways you can make it your own!

Other features include, but are not limited to:

+ 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms in total

+ Split-system air-conditioning - including in both living areas and the studio bedroom

+ Wood fireplace in the main living area

+ Carpeted bedrooms in the main house
