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 654 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 654 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 656 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.

Potential Plus! – Renovate or Build New!

This 1920's home has seen some changes, and now it's ready for the next phase of its life and is being sold “As-Is”.

You choose – renovate and bring it back to its period features or lay it to rest and let your new creation spring forth!

The property is Zoned R20 and the downward sloping rectangular 654m block has a width of approximately 12.2m and a depth of approximately 54.7m and is the ideal location to create a single level frontage with a split-level rear, or a two storey frontage that could carry through to the rear which could then comprise of 2 rear lower levels with a top level open entertaining deck above with possible city views.

Read the full description

The existing home will need a lot of work if the desire is to renovate, but the result could be worth it if only the front section of the home was retained and then build on in character fashion at the rear. It currently comprises of a short central hallway and two bedrooms, plus a single bathroom further along. This opens out to a basic kitchen/meals area and another bedroom adjacent. At the rear there is a sleepout and a further partitioned room. A stairway leads down to an under-croft lower kitchen and two small bedrooms, plus a separate laundry, all in original condition

The back yard spreads downwards to the rear fence line over a few different levels with a large work shed and adjoining toilet and shower. Let your imagination take over and see beyond the old chook pens and a some cleaning up that is needed, instead envisioning the resulting clean yard that will allow a unique and entertaining back garden with a possible pool deck and outdoor kitchen and room for more.

The property is only meters from the Swan River and the ever-popular Banks Reserve with its new adventure playground, barbeques, skate ramps and walking/cycling paths to the city or across to Burswood and the new Optus Stadium.

Bringing life to your new home here will be a lifestyle choice for those that want to raise a family within close proximity to the city and the vibrancy of the Beaufort St shopping and café precinct. Your entertainment options continue with the Astor theatre, nearby NIB Stadium and the many sporting clubs including the Mt Lawley Golf Club and Mt Lawley Tennis Club. Other nearby amenities include the St John of God Hospital and the Mt Lawley and East Perth Train stations and the many well regarded public and private primary and secondary schools and colleges including Trinity, Mercedes College, Perth College, Mt Lawley high school and Sacred Heart and Highgate Primary.

Add to this the excitement that the new East Perth power station development will bring, and the opportunity to stroll down to the foreshore any evening and watch the neon light show from the Mattagarup bridge and Optus Stadium and you have the perfect location to create your future abode.
