No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
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 exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 860 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $712/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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.
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
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
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.

Listing material
Listed by Lally Real EstateNestled on a generous 860 m² subdivisible R25 corner block (potential for two street front properties) in the heart of South Perth, this distinguished residence exudes the charm and elegance of a bygone era. Constructed in circa 1920's, it has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and includes undercover parking for 2 cars as well as secure additional parking spaces down the side of the property or space for a boat or caravan. The home has been lovingly maintained, with some additional renovations, and has preserved its rich heritage while offering space and comfort for modern family living.
This family home includes architectural character period pieces & living spaces:
A grand "Tudor Manor" is steeped in character-as you make your way up the steps to the enclosed verandah is the formal entry with an original large timber door you are greeted with rich jarrah timber flooring, robust Tudor-style beams, and a crackling roaring fireplace. Ornate touches like a quaint private booth, soaring ceilings, and oversized rooms breathe warmth and soul into the home, creating a narrative of timeless elegance.
The master bedroom located at the front of the home is large with a seated bay window , built in robes and a dressing room / nursery/ study.
Down the hallway is direct access to to the double carport and central bathroom.
Upstairs are another three bedrooms with built in robes, a central bathroom and a living/rumpus room.
Layout & Lifestyle:
An open plan living and dining room, graced by French windows opening onto a picturesque "Cape Cod"-style decking area overlooks the rear terraced garden with large gum tree, are ideal for hosting summer gatherings.
A fully appointed granite kitchen looks out to the adjoining streetscape and dining room. There is a separate laundry and WC conveniently located next to the kitchen.
Downstairs leads to a games room/ theatre room with french doors leading out to the rear yard.
Outdoor & Site Features:
Set on one of South Perth's more substantial pockets of land, the property is awash with manicured lawns and established greenery that evoke a tranquil, storybook ambiance. Additional highlights include a built-in wine cellar, garden reticulation, and a right-of-way (ROW)-a fusion of functionality and serenity. Also found in the backyard is an original outhouse with a functioning WC.
This Tudor Manor is positioned as a standout amongst peers, especially with its expansive land and period features making it an enduring family classic that stands out amid the leafy streets of the sought after suburb of South Perth.
Why 20 Karoo Street Stands Out:
• Retains signature Tudor and jarrah features that set it apart from modern builds.
• A rare, sizeable corner allotment in South Perth ideal for families or future development potential.
• Formal and casual living zones, large rooms ideal for multi-generational living.
• Granite kitchen, lush gardens, reticulation, and wine cellar complement heritage aesthetics.
• Within close reach of the Swan River, Angelo Street with its shops and cafes, Perth CBD, Perth Zoo, premium schools, Royal Perth Golf Club and local amenities.
