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 Glen Forrest'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. Listed land size is 4,047 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 $790/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.
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 2.1%. 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.

Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis 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
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?

Lot-level flood

This lot's DA history

Listing material
Listed by Earnshaws Real EstateOriginally built by William Green as a watering hole for railway workers and travellers, this home has always been about people coming together and feeling looked after. That legacy still lingers. It's in the air, in the space, in the way this property invites you to gather, host, retreat, and reset. Just over an acre of land gives you room to breathe while still being an easy stroll to the centre of town, great schools, and parks where you'll meet your new best friends. Oh, and also you can take your morning walk along the Heritage Trail, straight from your back boundary. It is lifestyle, history, and community, all wrapped into one very special home.
Inside, his grand old lady wears her story proudly. And it's obvious every caretaker of this heritage has done an excellent job of maintaining and caring for her. High ornate ceilings. Polished jarrah floorboards that have carried more than a century of footsteps. A wide central hallway that feels like a spine running through the home, connecting past and present in all the right ways. You have four bedrooms plus a study or fifth bedroom, giving you flexibility whether you are growing a family, working from home or accommodating guests who will absolutely not want to leave and who could blame them? There are two bathrooms, a formal lounge that needs the best conversations, and an elegant dining room that demands candles and proper dinners. Then there is the more relaxed side with the open-plan informal living and a timber country kitchen that is equal parts charm and function. French doors, bifolds and timber sash windows let the outside in, while slow combustion wood fires and split system air conditioning keep things comfortable year round. Downstairs you will find a cellar, storeroom and teen retreat, which means space for everyone and everything, without compromise.
Features Include:
• 1896 brick & iron homestead
• Originally built as a hotel by Mr William Green, now a grand residence full of history, charm & character
• 4 bedrooms plus study (or 5th bedroom)
• 2 bathrooms
• Front formal lounge room

• Lush lawns & landscaped gardens
• Small shed, veggie patch & chook pen
• Backing onto the Heritage Walk Trail Reserve
• Easy walk to the town centre, parks & schools
• Set on just over 1 acre (4,047sqm)
Outside showcases the very best of landscaping that respects the seasons, its origins, and the people who are lucky enough to live here. The wide timber decked front verandah is pure nostalgia, if this doesn't become your favourite spot in any kind of warm weather then we'd be very surprised. But, equally, you might be called to the central courtyard or patio. Or a picnic on the lawn. OK, it may be hard to choose a favourite retreat, but there's also still room to grow and plant and play and potter about. There's a small shed, veggie patch, and a chook pen that completes the dream of country-style living with convenience still close by. Forrest Arms is rich, layered, and completely one-of-a-kind. Which is exactly the point.
Be part of the legacy.
