Districts View
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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: Western Australia schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Kelmscott's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
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. 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 $593/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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 5.1%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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 O'Neil Real EstateSet in a beautiful pocket of the Kelmscott Hills, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom duplex half is certainly not perfect. It needs work, it needs imagination and it needs someone who can see beyond what's here today to what it could become tomorrow.
What it does have is space, privacy, a magnificent hills outlook and one seriously impressive deck running right across the back of the home.
LIVING HERE
The main living area has views, an old open fireplace that now houses a gas heater and a remarkable collection of egg cups. Before you go jumping up and down, the egg cups don't come with the property Which is a shame because you've got plenty of room for a chook pen here. And if you've ever wanted over 500 boiled eggs at once, this would have been the best way to serve them.
The kitchen is functional but ready for renovation. There is enough scope to rework the layout, add storage and better integrate it with the living area for a more modern 2026 kind of style. At the moment it's a 1972 style kitchen but it works.
Both bedrooms offer good space, with the main bedroom featuring a mirrored built-in wardrobe and an attractive outlook out to the hills. The bathroom includes a shower over bath, vanity and toilet. Pretty much everything that makes up a bathroom!
OUTSIDE
The deck is an absolute standout. It is massive, stretches across the rear of the home and captures a beautiful outlook over the surrounding hills. Give it a sand, a stain and a little attention, and this could become the extraordinary outdoor living space it once was.
The backyard offers an enormous amount of room and tremendous potential. There is Colorbond fencing along both sides, established fruit trees-including a massive fig tree, grapefruit and mandarin-and loads of space to create something special.
The property is serviced by a septic system, as is typical throughout this part of the hills.
WHERE IT IS
This is a genuinely beautiful location. You're surrounded by greenery, with acreage properties and even a few sheep living in the paddock across the road. It has a rural atmosphere without being miles away from everything.
With no deep sewer available in the area, development potential is limited, helping preserve the spacious character that makes this pocket so appealing.
WHAT NEXT?
Let's be completely upfront: the home does need a few repairs and is being sold on an "as is, where is" basis. A structural report is available, so you can review the information and make your own enquiries on how best to make it all work.
What you are buying is an affordable home in a brilliant Kelmscott Hills location.
