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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 36,522 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Mount Helena (last 5 years) with land size: median $312/m² of land (n=106). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

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

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?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

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.

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 36,522 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

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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 $649/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.

1 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 36,522 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?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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

    Development applications have not been queried 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 Earnshaws Real Estate

It's a families dream property!

Family means no one gets left behind, or forgotten. It's true for Disney cartoons AND dream family properties, including this one: a quintessential slice of Hills living at its absolute best where there's actually oodles of room for everyone. Large brood? No problem. Extended family? Bring them along. A load of pets? Space for them too. And if you're the kind of crew who love inviting other large crowds over for unforgettable nights (or days and nights!) of entertainment and get-togethers and even home camping trips, well, there's the capacity for that to happen too. There's even undercover parking for 7 (yes, SEVEN) cars! All set up carefully and considerately on just over 9 acres, so you can be as rowdy as you like with zero worries about bothering the neighbours.

It's a little tricky to choose one standout feature of this property; everything inside has been finished to perfection from the pretty floors to the country-style bathroom to the gorgeous white and wood kitchen overlooking the meals area with pot belly stove. There's space and room and a spot for everyone (and their dog) and it's all been freshly painted. But outside? Outside is simply outstanding. Until the warm weather ramps up and you can barely drag yourself from the belowground pool, you'll absolutely adore the enormous, undercover alfresco area which spans the entire length of the back of the house and it comes complete with a large pizza oven. There are fans, lighting, and even draw-down transparent blinds for keeping yourselves and your guests comfortable and cosy - you can use this space all year round. Need a spot just for you? The front verandah is calling your name - BYO morning cup of tea, the property will provide the birdsong. While you work out in your own home gym, the kids can be pumping their own muscles on the incredible, fully fenced playground area, and those needing 'shed-time' can take their pick from two sheds - both with power. Then, there's the cute little studio you can turn into whatever your heart desires.
