  • FactLand 243 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Beaconsfield (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,525/m² of land (n=100). 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 243 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 $730/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 243 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.

Charming Coastal Hideaway

UNDER OFFER by Louise Pope - White House Property Partners

Tucked behind a private wall where a majestic frangipani tree greets you at the front door, is this delightful 'little blue cottage' on the edge of Fremantle. Brought to life by local Swiss artist and sculptor Matt Dickmann in the late 1980s, it has that quintessential 'Freo' character and unique blend of design influences so typical of the colourful, eclectic homes in this area. There's the cool-blue exterior, breezy interiors, north-facing open plan and a magical back garden oasis complete with an outdoor bath to relax into under the stars or sun.

Mediterranean style is effortlessly woven throughout this home; delicate terracotta tiles bordering the kitchen bench tops, climbing vines outside, established fruit trees of avocado and Tahitian lime and a herbal garden wall. Coastal influences from the exterior wrapped in blue, to the hessian webbing adorning the patio roof remind you the beach is only 5 minutes away. Pops of colour in the artisan tile work against recycled red brick pavers add a touch of rustic charm, while sculptural limestone walls curve around the landscaped garden beds (serviced by automated reticulation).

Read the full description

At the front of the home, two bedrooms offer peaceful retreats (the master with a ceiling fan and semi-ensuite access), while a timber mezzanine level can easily be a third bedroom or home office/study. The open-plan layout feels spacious under the lofty, pitched ceiling and flows to the outdoors with ease - there's also two reverse cycle air-conditioners for year-round comfort.

The country-style kitchen has a four burner gas stovetop, 600mm electric oven, and picturesque views to the back garden above the double sink. Carved, bohemian wooden panelling houses space for a fridge, alongside the pantry with custom-built double doors and there's easy access through the kitchen to the combined bathroom/laundry with a rainwater shower, vanity and separate WC.

Outside, a serene soundtrack of birdsong and leafy trees rustling in the wind awaits. Imagine lazy days lounging on the day bed or the raised salmon-gum timber deck, framed by railway sleepers rescued from the old Freo bridge. Pull up the timber panels to unveil the corner bath beneath and rinse off from an ocean dip under the huge rainwater shower, sheltered by the hanging peppermint tree in the corner.

A single carport with an automated roller door provides a secure space to park your car off-street or to house tools with access to power. Completing this home there's also roof solar panels, an alarm system and plenty of outdoor power points for ease of use.

The location of this cottage is another enticing feature; Beaconsfield is brimming with a strong sense of community and enviable proximity to South Fremantle and all its delights along South Terrace. You can walk, bus or bike to shops, schools, cafes, restaurants and beaches in minutes and revel in the lifestyle loved by 'Beacy' locals.

Grab a morning coffee from Two Dogs Laughing, groceries from The Grocer and The Chef on Lefroy Road, enjoy a swim at South Beach and take a leisurely wander towards the Freo Farmer's Markets each Sunday. It's easy to commute to TAFE, Notre Dame University in town or Murdoch University via South Street and the Fremantle train station is only 1.9kms away.

This charming coastal cottage is filled to the brim with colour and character and conveniently located in a much-loved suburb close to everything you need - what a wonderful opportunity this is to make it your own.
